Northern Cyclades
Aerial views of Tinos and Andros as the plane departs the Mykonos airspace.
Mount Olympus
The highest mountain in Greece and legendary home of the gods is often visible on clear days.
Dalmatian Coast
Spectacular views of the Croatian islands, including Hvar and the red roofs of Dubrovnik's Old Town.
Julian and Austrian Alps
Rugged limestone massifs and glacial lakes visible as the flight crosses into Central Europe.
Frankfurt Skyline
On the approach to Cologne, the impressive skyscrapers of Frankfurt can often be seen to the east.
The right side is the 'coastline side' for much of the flight. For the best views of the Dalmatian Coast, ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing. Early morning flights offer the best clarity over the Aegean islands, while winter flights provide the most dramatic snow coverage across the Balkan and Alpine mountain ranges.

Delos and Rhenia
Immediately after takeoff, see the sacred island of Delos and its neighboring Rhenia in the turquoise Aegean.
Gulf of Corinth
The narrow strip of water separating the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland is visible during early climb.
Italian Adriatic Coast
Distant views of the Gargano Peninsula and the eastern Italian coastline across the sea.
Central Alps
Impressive views of the high peaks along the Swiss and Austrian borders during mid-flight cruise.
Middle Rhine Valley
During the final descent, look for the winding Rhine River and its cliffside castles south of Cologne.
Sit on the left for the best lighting during afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. During the descent into CGN, keep a close watch for the Rhine's 'Romantic' section, which features several historic fortifications. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, you may also see the outskirts of Milan and the Po Valley.
