Moscow Forest Belts
Dense green belts and suburban landscapes surrounding Domodedovo during the initial ascent.
Central Black Sea
A vast, deep blue expanse as the flight traverses the maritime corridor toward the Mediterranean.
Istanbul & Bosphorus
Depending on the specific air corridor, the sparkling lights and bridges of Istanbul may be visible to the south.
Halkidiki Peninsulas
The distinct 'three fingers' of the Halkidiki region, showcasing turquoise waters and sandy coves.
Mount Athos
The rugged, mountainous easternmost peninsula, home to historic Eastern Orthodox monasteries.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern glare. Keep an eye out for the unique geography of the Halkidiki peninsulas about 20 minutes before landing. If the flight path takes a more easterly route over Turkey, you might catch a distant glimpse of the Bosphorus Strait.
