NUE β RHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Nuremberg Airport (Nuernberg) to Diagoras Airport (Rhodos)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an unparalleled panorama of the Adriatic's Dalmatian archipelago, the rugged Peloponnese, and the scattered white islands of the Aegean Sea.
Bavarian Alps
Clear views of the Zugspitze and the Alpine foothills shortly after crossing the Danube.
Dalmatian Coast
A spectacular sequence of thousands of Croatian islands set against the deep blue Adriatic.
Peloponnese
The rugged mountains and deep gulfs of southern Greece, including the Corinthian region.
Cyclades Islands
Volcanic island silhouettes like Milos or Santorini appearing as white dots in the Aegean.
Rhodes Town
Excellent views of the medieval Old Town and the Mandraki Harbor during the landing pattern.
The right side is the 'coastline' side. Approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight, keep your camera ready for the Croatian islands. For late afternoon flights, this side offers stunning sunsets over the Ionian Sea. Try to sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the islands isn't obstructed by the engine.
Nuremberg & Franconia
Bird's-eye view of the historic Imperial Castle and the PEG river shortly after departure.
Eastern Alps
Glaciated peaks of the High Tauern and the Grossglockner massif visible over Austria.
Balkan Interior
Rugged, forested mountain ranges stretching across Serbia and North Macedonia.
Turkish Riviera
The dramatic cliffs and turquoise bays of the DatΓ§a Peninsula during the final approach.
Rhodes Coastline
A close look at the eastern resorts of Faliraki and Lindos as the plane banks for landing.
Sit on the left if you enjoy high-altitude mountain scenery. During the final descent, watch for the Turkish coastline which appears very close. Morning flights offer soft lighting on the Balkan mountains, while midday provides the best water clarity for spotting the turquoise bays of Rhodes.
