Santorini Caldera
The dramatic volcanic crater and white-washed villages of Oia and Fira immediately after takeoff.
Ionian Islands
Bird's-eye views of the turquoise waters surrounding Zakynthos, Kefalonia, and Corfu.
Adriatic Coast
The rugged, indented coastline of Albania and Croatia's Dalmatian coast.
Western Alps
Glaciers and high peaks of the Swiss Alps, including potential sightings of the Eiger and Jungfrau.
Rhine Valley
The winding Rhine river and the rolling hills of the German-Belgian border region.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Caldera during the initial climb. For morning flights, the left side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare. Keep your camera ready about 2 hours into the flight for the crossing of the Alps.

Pindus Mountains
The massive, rugged mountain range often referred to as the 'spine of Greece'.
The Dolomites
The unique limestone peaks and jagged ridges of the Italian and Austrian Alps.
Frankfurt am Main
The skyscraper-heavy skyline of Germany's financial hub if the flight tracks slightly east.
Ardennes Forest

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights if you want to avoid direct sun exposure. It provides a better angle for the Eastern Alps and the industrial heartland of Western Germany. Look for the Meuse River during the descent as it marks your entry into Belgian airspace.
