Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Cyclades Archipelago

Stunning views of the volcanic landscape of Santorini and the white-washed villages of the Greek islands.

🏔️

Mount Olympus

The highest peak in Greece, often rising above a layer of clouds, marking the path through the mainland.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The dramatic karst topography and rugged mountain chains of the Balkan Peninsula stretching through Bosnia and Croatia.

❄️

Hohe Tauern

A spectacular crossing of the Austrian Alps featuring the snow-capped Grossglockner massif.

🏙️

Nuremberg and Franconia

Clear views of the historic city of Nuremberg and the winding Main-Danube Canal.

🌲

The Harz Mountains

The last major mountain range before descending into the North German Plain towards Hannover.

Sit on the right side for the best chance to see the iconic Greek islands and the heart of the Alps. In winter, the contrast between the Aegean blue and the snow-peaked Alps is breathtaking. During sunset flights, this side catches the golden hour glow over the Balkan mountains.

Peloponnese Peninsula

The rugged mountains and deep bays of southern Greece, including the Mani and Messenia regions.

Julian Alps

Sharp, limestone peaks of the Slovenian and Italian border region visible during the transition into Central Europe.

Bavarian Foothills
