Bodrum Peninsula
Immediate views of the Turkish coastline and the deep blue bays of the Aegean Sea right after departure.
Mount Olympus
The mythical home of the gods towers above the Thermaic Gulf near Thessaloniki approximately 40 minutes into the flight.
Sofia & Balkan Range
A clear view of the Bulgarian capital and the sweeping Stara Planina mountains during the cruise phase.
The Danube River
The plane frequently crosses the winding blue ribbon of the Danube near the Serbian and Hungarian borders.
Salzburg & Northern Alps
Dramatic vistas of the Berchtesgaden Alps and the city of Salzburg as the flight crosses into German airspace.
Keep your camera ready in the first 10 minutes for the Turkish coast. For the Alpine crossing, which occurs roughly 2 hours into the flight, the right side typically offers better lighting conditions for photography on North-West bound routes. If landing towards the south at CGN, you may see the Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) in the distance.

Northern Cyclades
Aerial views of the scattered Greek islands and the elongated island of Euboea shortly after takeoff.
Pindus Mountain Range
The rugged 'spine of Greece' featuring deep gorges and limestone peaks visible during the mid-flight climb.
Adriatic Coastline
Glimpses of the turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs along the coasts of Montenegro and Croatia.
Austrian Alps
Spectacular views of the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the High Tauern range and the Grossglockner.
Upper Middle Rhine Valley
Historic castles and steep vineyards visible as the plane begins its descent into the North Rhine-Westphalia region.
The left side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Adriatic Sea. For the best views of the Rhine Valley during approach, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the steep valley landscape. Seasonal snow on the Pindus mountains is most visible from January to March.
