HAJ β RHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Hannover Airport (Hannover) to Diagoras Airport (Rhodos)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular panoramic journey across the high Alps, the sparkling Adriatic coastline of Croatia, and a comprehensive tour of the Greek Cyclades islands before landing.
Grossglockner & High Tauern
Direct views of Austria's highest peak and the dramatic central Alpine ridge.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of Croatian islands like Hvar and BraΔ set against the deep blue Adriatic.
Pindus Range
The 'Spine of Greece', featuring deep gorges and high limestone summits in the Epirus region.
The Cyclades
A stunning aerial map of islands including Mykonos, Naxos, and Santorini scattered across the Aegean.
Rhodes Old Town
A bird's-eye view of the medieval fortifications and the Mandraki Harbor just before touchdown.
This is the premier side for geography lovers. For the most dramatic lighting on the Aegean islands, choose a late afternoon flight. During winter, the snow-covered Alps provide a sharp contrast to the blue Mediterranean later in the flight.
Thuringian Forest
Dense, dark green woodland ridges of central Germany visible shortly after departure.
Prague & Central Bohemia
Distant views of the 'City of a Hundred Spires' and the winding Vltava River.
Dachstein Mountains
Glaciated peaks and limestone massifs of the northern Austrian Alps.
Accursed Mountains
The rugged, wild karst peaks along the border of Montenegro and Albania.
Turkish Riviera
The turquoise waters and jagged coastline of Marmaris and Dalaman during the final descent.
Sit here for soft morning light when flying south. It is the best side for viewing the sunrise over the Balkan interior. Keep an eye out for the distinctive silhouette of the Turkish coast as you approach Rhodes from the north.
