Ruhr Valley Urban Landscape
Dense urban sprawl and industrial architecture of Germany's heartland shortly after departure.
Austrian and Bavarian Alps
Sweeping views of the snow-capped Eastern Alps and crystalline mountain lakes.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The intricate network of thousands of islands along the Croatian coastline.
Pindus Mountain Range
The rugged interior of mainland Greece, featuring deep canyons and limestone ridges.
Mount Taygetos
The highest mountain of the Peloponnese, providing a dramatic backdrop for the landing in Kalamata.
For the best experience, choose a seat mid-cabin or forward to avoid engine heat distortion over the Alps. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses, but the lighting on the Balkan mountains is exceptional during the late afternoon. Watch for the sharp transition from the turquoise Ionian Sea to the rocky Peloponnese mountains about 20 minutes before landing.

A panoramic view of the deep blue waters and coastal villages as the plane aligns with the runway.
The right side is ideal for passengers who enjoy coastal and maritime scenery. You will have a better view of the Italian Adriatic coast and the Ionian island chain. On midday or afternoon flights, this side remains in the shade, making it easier to take photographs without glare. During the final approach, look for the Mani Peninsula stretching out into the sea to the south.
