Akamas Peninsula
The wild western tip of Cyprus featuring rugged cliffs and crystal-clear lagoons visible shortly after takeoff.
Rhodes & Dodecanese
Stunning aerial views of Rhodes and various smaller Greek islands dotting the deep blue Aegean Sea.
Dinaric Alps
The stark craggy limestone mountain range stretching across the Balkan Peninsula toward Central Europe.
Danube River
Aerial views of the iconic river as it winds through the Hungarian and Austrian landscapes.
Vienna Woods
The sprawling biosphere reserve providing a lush green carpet for the final approach into VIE airport.
For the best photography of the Aegean islands, choose a window seat forward of the wing. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the Balkan mountain ranges without harsh glare. During the descent, keep an eye out for the Danube River as it snakes toward the city.

Taurus Mountains
Distal but impressive views of the snow-capped Turkish peaks along the Antalya coastline.

The central mountain chain of Bulgaria and Serbia offering deep valleys and high ridges.
Pannonian Basin
The vast flat agricultural heartland of Central Europe spanning across Hungary.
Lake Neusiedl
A massive shallow steppe lake on the border of Austria and Hungary visible just before landing.
The right side is excellent for catching the sunrise on early morning departures from Cyprus.

This side often provides a clearer view of the airport terminal layout upon arrival.
