Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the sparkling Adriatic coastline and the dramatic contrast between the deep blue sea and the rugged Dinaric Alps, followed by the mystical rock pillars of Meteora during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Julian Alps & Dolomites

Dramatic views of the jagged peaks of Slovenia and the Italian Dolomites visible to the southwest.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

A breathtaking sequence of hundreds of Croatian islands scattered across the turquoise Adriatic Sea.

⚓

Bay of Kotor

The winding, fjord-like inlet of Montenegro surrounded by steep limestone cliffs.

🪨

Meteora Monasteries

The incredible stone pillars of central Greece, topped with medieval monasteries, visible during the descent into Volos.

🌊

Pagasetic Gulf

The horseshoe-shaped gulf where the destination airport is located, offering serene coastal views.

The right side is unbeatable for coastal scenery. For evening flights, you will experience a stunning sunset over the Ionian and Adriatic seas. During the descent, the pilot often banks over the Pagasetic Gulf, providing a perfect aerial view of Volos and the Pelion peninsula. Seat behind the wing for the clearest views of the Croatian islands.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Bavarian Alps

Views of the northern limestone Alps and the picturesque lakes of southern Germany shortly after takeoff.

💧

Lake Chiemsee

The largest lake in Bavaria, visible as the plane crosses the border into Austrian airspace.

⚡

Mount Olympus

The legendary home of the Greek gods, appearing as a massive massif to the east as you approach Thessaly.

🌾

Thessaly Plain

The vast agricultural heartland of Greece unfolding just before the final approach into Nea Anchialos.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly spectacular in the final 20 minutes of flight when the iconic peaks of Mount Olympus dominate the horizon. Keep your eyes peeled for the Danube river crossing earlier in the flight if the route takes a more easterly path.
