Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the spectacular transition from the snow-capped Alps to the turquoise waters of the Adriatic and Aegean Seas.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🗻

Watzmann Peak

The iconic, jagged silhouette of Germany's third highest mountain near Berchtesgaden.

🌊

Dalmatian Coast

An incredible aerial view of the Croatian archipelago and the deep blue Adriatic Sea.

🏝️

Aegean Islands

A bird's-eye view of the Greek islands like Euboea and the Sporades scattered in the sea.

🏖️

Gulf of Gökova

The stunning 'Turquoise Coast' where lush green forests meet the vibrant blue Mediterranean.

🛶

Iztuzu Beach

The famous Turtle Beach and the intricate sandbars of the Dalaman coastline on final approach.

The right side is the 'scenic winner' for its coastal views. On late afternoon flights, you will experience a stunning sunset over the Aegean Sea. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes before landing for the most vibrant sea colors as you fly over the Greek and Turkish coastlines.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
💧

Chiemsee Lake

Known as the Bavarian Sea, this large lake is visible shortly after departing Munich.

🏔️

Hohe Tauern Range

Glistering views of Austria's highest peaks, including the Grossglockner massif.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

The rugged, limestone karst landscapes of the Balkan interior across Bosnia and Montenegro.

🌾

Menderes Valley

The fertile, winding river valleys of Western Anatolia as you enter Turkish airspace.

🏞️

Lake Köyceğiz

A vast, serene freshwater lake located just north of the Dalaman airport approach path.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. This side is particularly good for spotting the high alpine lakes of Austria and the dramatic river canyons of the Balkans. During the final descent, look for the reed-lined channels of the Dalyan River delta.
