Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a more dramatic perspective of the central Alps, the Venetian lagoon, and the dense archipelago of the Aegean Sea during the transit across Europe.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Central Swiss Alps

Spectacular views of high altitude peaks, glaciers, and deep mountain valleys as you cross Central Europe.

🛶

Venice and the Lagoon

Look for the distinctive 'S' shape of the Grand Canal and the islands of the Venetian lagoon.

🏛️

Greek Mainland

Rugged mountain terrain and the indented coastline of central Greece as you head toward the Aegean.

🏝️

Cyclades Islands

A stunning view of the white-and-blue islands scattered across the deep azure of the Aegean Sea.

⛰️

Troodos Mountains

The pine-covered peaks of Cyprus's largest mountain range appearing during the descent.

Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you, enhancing the clarity of the Alps. This side is also superior for spotting the small islands of the Aegean before reaching Cyprus. Be aware that most flights to PFO are daytime, so window shades may be needed if sitting on the sun-exposed right side.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Mont Blanc Massif

In the distance, the highest peak in the Alps can often be seen towering over the western range.

🏖️

Adriatic Coastline

The beautiful transition from the Italian mainland to the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea.

🌊

Ionian Islands

Stunning views of Corfu and the neighboring islands, known for their lush greenery and clear water.

🚢

Mediterranean Expanse

Vast blue horizons with occasional glimpses of shipping lanes and distant coastal outlines.

🏰

Paphos Old Town

Aerial views of the archaeological park and the coastline as the plane maneuvers to land at PFO.

The right side is ideal for catching the sunset on late afternoon flights. As the plane approaches Paphos from the sea, you will have a wide view of the Mediterranean horizon and the coastal cliffs of western Cyprus. Check the seasonal wind patterns as landing direction can change your final view.
