Which side of the plane to sit from Hannover Airport (Hannover) to Diagoras Airport (Rhodos)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

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 Brač 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.
