Mesopotamian Rivers
Bird's-eye views of the historic Tigris and Euphrates rivers winding through Iraq.
Taurus Mountains
Snow-capped peaks and dramatic limestone ridges across southern Turkey.
Dodecanese Islands
A stunning archipelago including Rhodes and Kos scattered across the blue Aegean.
Peloponnese
The rugged, mountainous peninsula of southern Greece rich in history.
Central Apennines
The mountainous spine of Italy visible during the approach to Rome.
The right side is the prime choice for geography lovers. The transit over the Turkish coast and the Greek islands usually happens mid-flight; have your camera ready for the Taurus Mountains roughly 2 hours after takeoff. For morning departures, the sun will be behind you, providing perfectly front-lit views of the Aegean islands. During the descent into FCO, you may catch glimpses of the Roman countryside and the Apennine foothills.

Syrian Desert
Vast stretches of arid landscapes transitioning from the Mesopotamian plains.
Levantine Coast
The sparkling interface where the Middle East meets the Mediterranean Sea.
Cretan Sea
Deep blue waters with distant silhouettes of the southern Greek islands.
Calabrian Coast
The rugged southern coastline of Italy as the flight enters European airspace.
Tyrrhenian Sea
The final descent phase over the western coast of Italy approaching Rome.
Sit on the left for softer, indirect light during midday flights, which helps reduce glare on the window. On afternoon flights, this side provides better views of the Italian sunset during the descent into Fiumicino. Keep an eye out for the distinct shape of the Italian 'toe' as you cross from the Ionian Sea.
