Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Eastern Alps, the jagged Croatian coastline, and an intimate look at the scattered Aegean islands during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏔️

Eastern Alps & Dolomites

Breathtaking views of the snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys of the Austrian and Italian Alps.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

A stunning mosaic of hundreds of islands along the turquoise Croatian coastline.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged, limestone mountain ranges stretching across Montenegro and Albania.

🌊

Aegean Sea Islands

Aerial perspectives of islands like Samos and Kos as the plane begins its descent into Rhodes.

🏰

Rhodes Old Town

On many approach paths, the medieval fortifications of Rhodes City are visible just before landing.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Alps and the Balkan coast. For afternoon flights, this side is shaded, which reduces glare for photography. Look out for the transition from the high mountains to the Adriatic Sea roughly 1 hour into the flight.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🇮🇹

Italian Peninsula

Views of the Italian coastline and the distant Apennine Mountains.

🌊

Adriatic Sea Expanse

A vast view of the deep blue waters separating Italy from the Balkan Peninsula.

🏺

Peloponnese Peninsula

The southern tip of mainland Greece, featuring mountainous terrain and historic coastlines.

🌅

Mediterranean Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the horizon, perfect for observing the sunset on late-day flights.

✈️

Rhodes West Coast

Panoramic views of the rugged western shores of Rhodes during the final banking maneuvers.

Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon or evening to enjoy a Mediterranean sunset. This side provides a broader perspective of the open sea and the southern Greek mainland. Ensure your window is clean to capture the subtle gradients of the Ionian Sea.
