CRL → RHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Diagoras Airport (Rhodos)?
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.
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.
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.
