Which side of the plane to sit from Liège Airport (Liege) to Diagoras Airport (Rhodos)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the majestic Alpine peaks and a stunning perspective of the Aegean islands during the descent into Rhodes.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌲

Ardennes & Luxembourg

Lush green forests and the winding valleys of the Ardennes shortly after departure from Liège.

🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Dramatic snow-capped peaks and glacial valleys as the flight crosses into high-altitude Europe.

🛶

Venetian Lagoon

The distinctive shape of Venice and its surrounding islands visible as you cross the Adriatic coast.

🏝️

Cyclades Islands

Clusters of white-washed villages on rocky islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea.

🏰

Rhodes City & Old Town

Aerial view of the medieval fortifications and the Mandraki Harbor during the final approach.

Sit on the left for the best sunrise views on morning flights. The Alpine crossing occurs roughly 60-70 minutes into the flight; keep your camera ready for high-contrast mountain peaks. On the approach to RHO, this side usually faces the historic center of Rhodes town.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Vosges Mountains

The rounded summits of eastern France providing a scenic transition toward the Alps.

🗻

Mont Blanc Distance View

On clear days, the highest peak in Europe can be spotted on the horizon to the west.

🏛️

Peloponnese Peninsula

The rugged, mountainous coastline of southern mainland Greece and the Gulf of Corinth.

🇹🇷

Turkish Riviera

The jagged bays and turquoise waters of the Datça Peninsula and Marmaris coast near the arrival.

🌅

Mediterranean Sunset

On late afternoon flights, this side provides front-row seats to the sun dipping below the horizon.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to avoid direct glare and enjoy the sunset. Look for the Corinth Canal as a thin line cutting through the landscape. During the final descent, you will have a clear view of the Turkish mainland just across the strait from Rhodes.
