Search flights from FRA to RHO
Zugspitze
Germany's highest peak is often visible as you cross the border into Austria.
Dalmatian Coast
The stunning turquoise waters and thousands of islands along the Croatian shoreline.
Gulf of Corinth
Views of the Peloponnese peninsula and the narrow strip of land connecting it to mainland Greece.
Cyclades Islands
Aerial perspectives of famous islands like Mykonos, Naxos, or even Santorini depending on the corridor.
Rhodes Old Town
During the final banking maneuver, see the medieval walls and the Palace of the Grand Master.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. To get the best views of the Croatian islands, ensure you have a window seat away from the wing (Rows 1-10 or 25+). For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended. Look out for the 'meltemi' winds creating whitecaps on the Aegean Sea below.

Frankfurt Skyline
A glimpse of the Main Tower and the financial district shortly after departure.
Bavarian Alps
Excellent views of the rolling foothills and the eastern Austrian Alpine peaks.
Munich Area
Clear views of the Isar River and the distinctive Allianz Arena if the flight path tracks slightly east.
Turkish Riviera
On the final approach, the rugged coastline of Marmaris and the Datca Peninsula are visible.
Mount Athos
If taking a more easterly route, the holy monasteries of the Chalkidiki peninsula can be spotted.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. Watch for the dramatic transition from the European mainland to the deep blue of the Aegean Sea. Seat yourself forward of the wing for the best view of the Turkish coastline during the final descent into Rhodes.
