Which side of the plane to sit from Dresden Airport (Dresden) to Diagoras Airport (Rhodos)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled panorama of the Adriatic coastline and the most dramatic alpine peaks. As the flight progresses south-southeast, passengers on the right are treated to the rugged beauty of the Croatian islands and the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean, followed by a stunning approach into Rhodes that often showcases the proximity of the Turkish coast and the island of Symi.

Hohe Tauern National Park
Breathtaking views of the Grossglockner, Austria's highest peak, and surrounding glaciers.
Dalmatian Coastline
A long, spectacular stretch showcasing the thousands of islands along the Croatian coast.
Dubrovnik
The iconic walled city of the Adriatic is often visible as a tiny, perfect jewel on the coast.
Gulf of Corinth
The narrow waterway separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece, visible before the final descent.
Symi & Rhodes Approach
Stunning views of the rugged Symi island and the northern tip of Rhodes during the final turn.
The right side is the 'scenic winner' for coastal enthusiasts. For afternoon flights, be prepared for some sun glare; use a polarizing filter if taking photos. During the final approach into Diagoras Airport (RHO), this side typically provides the best view of the island's coastline and the nearby Turkish mountains.
