KRK → PFO
Which side of the plane to sit from Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow) to Paphos International Airport (Paphos)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic mountain scenery, including a close-up of the High Tatras immediately after takeoff and a spectacular perspective of the Turkish coast and the Troodos Mountains during the descent into Cyprus.
High Tatras
Dramatic views of the highest range in the Carpathian Mountains shortly after departing Krakow.
Budapest
Aerial perspective of the Danube River winding through the Hungarian capital.
Balkan Mountains
Rugged, rolling terrain as the flight crosses over Bulgaria and towards the Mediterranean.
Turkish Riviera
Stunning turquoise waters and jagged coastline near Marmaris and Fethiye as you leave mainland Asia Minor.
Troodos Massif
The forested peaks of Cyprus's interior visible during the final descent into Paphos.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Watch closely in the first 15 minutes for the peaks of Zakopane. During the descent, the left side usually faces the island's interior, offering views of the Kyrenia range in the distance.
Lake Balaton
The vast expanse of Central Europe's largest freshwater lake visible over Hungary.
Belgrade
The confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers at the heart of the Serbian capital.
Aegean Islands
Clear views of the Greek Dodecanese islands, including Rhodes, shimmering in the Mediterranean.
Paphos Coastline
Views of the crystal-clear waters and rocky coves as the plane aligns with the runway.
Aphrodite's Rock
The famous sea stack and birthplace of the goddess, often visible just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights, as the sun sets over the Mediterranean Sea. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight for a panoramic view of the Paphos Archaeological Park and the lighthouse.
