Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Diagoras Airport (Rhodos)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Aegean archipelago, including the distinct peninsulas of northern Greece and the scattered white islands of the Cyclades during the descent.

Gulf of Finland
Panoramic views of the Kronstadt naval base and the Neva Bay immediately after departure from Pulkovo.
Mount Athos
The holy mountain of the Chalkidiki peninsula rises sharply from the Aegean Sea, visible as a massive pyramid peak.
The Cyclades
Aerial perspective of the iconic white-washed island clusters like Mykonos and Naxos scattered across the deep blue sea.
Rhodes Old Town
On the final approach, look for the Palace of the Grand Master and the medieval walls of Rhodes City.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy a sunset over the Aegean. Seats in front of the wing provide the best view of the Chalkidiki 'fingers.' Look out for the circular volcanic caldera of Santorini if the flight path tracks slightly west.

Black Sea Coast
Stunning views of the Bulgarian coastline and the ports of Varna and Burgas as the plane transitions from the Balkans.
The Dardanelles
A clear view of the narrow strait separating Europe and Asia, including the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge.
Izmir and Western Turkey
The sprawling urban landscape of Izmir and the jagged coastline of the Turkish Aegean region.
Dodecanese Chain
Close-up views of Samos, Patmos, and Kos as you fly parallel to the Turkish mainland.
Sit on the left if you prefer views of the Anatolian coastline and the Dardanelles. During morning flights, be prepared for intense sun glare as you head south; keep the window shade partially down to manage light.
