Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior vantage point for the majestic Alps and the rugged Balkan mountains while keeping the sun behind the aircraft for better visibility and photography.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

English Channel

Views of the Kent coastline and busy shipping lanes shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Central Alps

High-altitude panorama of snow-capped Swiss and Austrian peaks mid-flight.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged limestone peaks of the Balkan Peninsula across Montenegro and Albania.

🏙️

Sofia

A potential bird's eye view of the Bulgarian capital's outskirts.

🏝️

Aegean Sea

Numerous Greek islands dotting the deep blue water in the latter half of the journey.

🏔️

Taurus Mountains

The dramatic jagged peaks of the mountain range that shields Antalya from the north.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side provides the clearest views of the Alpine ranges and the mountainous descent into Turkey. Keep your camera ready approximately 90 minutes after departure for the best mountain scenery.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🇫🇷

French Interior

Vast agricultural patterns and river systems across central France.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

Western Europe's highest peak is often visible on the horizon to the south.

🏖️

Adriatic Sea

The crystalline waters and scattered islands along the Croatian coastline.

🇬🇷

Pindus Mountains

The high mountain spine of mainland Greece stretching toward the Mediterranean.

🌊

Antalya Bay

A spectacular view of the Turkish Riviera's turquoise waters during the final descent.

🏙️

Duden Waterfalls

Look for the famous waterfalls cascading directly into the sea near the city center.

The right side is exceptional for capturing the golden hour over the Mediterranean on late afternoon flights. On the final approach into AYT, this side often offers a better view of the city's coastline and the iconic waterfalls if the plane approaches from the west.
