Which side of the plane to sit from Alexander the Great International Airport (Kavala) to Cologne Bonn Airport (Cologne)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior panorama of the Alpine peaks and the winding Rhine River during the final approach phase, providing more consistent natural beauty.
Aegean Coastline
Scenic views of the northern Greek shores and the Thracian Sea immediately after takeoff.
Dinaric Alps
Extensive views of the rugged mountain chains stretching throughout the Balkan Peninsula.
The High Alps
Spectacular snowy peaks and deep glacial valleys as the flight traverses central Europe.
Lake Constance
The expansive blue waters of the Bodensee marking the borders of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland.
Middle Rhine Valley
Historically rich valley featuring steep hills and medieval castle ruins during the descent.
Optimal for seeing the dramatic Alpine divide. Best on morning flights for soft lighting on the mountains without glare. Look out for the winding Rhine river about 20 minutes before landing.
Rhodope Mountains
Vast green mountain ranges stretching across the Greek-Bulgarian border shortly after departure.
Danube River
Multiple sightings of Europe's second-longest river as it winds through several Balkan nations.
Belgrade
A bird's-eye view of the Serbian capital at the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.
Frankfurt Skyline
The distinctive 'Mainhattan' skyscrapers are often visible during the cruise over central Germany.
Cologne Cathedral
The world-famous twin spires are often visible on the final approach if landing from the north.
Ideal for city spotters and geography enthusiasts. You will pass several major European hubs. If the flight path takes a northern loop for landing, you will get a direct view of the Cologne city center.
