Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the Swedish archipelago, the winding Danube, and the legendary Mount Olympus, followed by a panoramic approach over the Rhodes coastline.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🇸🇪

Öland and the Coast

The long, narrow island of Öland and the intricate Swedish coastline shortly after takeoff.

💧

The Danube River

The 'Blue Danube' as it snakes through Hungary and the outskirts of Budapest.

🏔️

Mount Olympus

The majestic, often cloud-shrouded home of the Greek gods in northern Greece.

🏛️

Attica Peninsula

Views of the sprawling Athens metropolitan area and the Saronic Gulf in the distance.

🏖️

Rhodes West Coast

A sweeping view of the island's turquoise waters and pebbled beaches during the landing sequence.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. Keep a sharp eye out approximately 40 minutes before landing for the distinct peak of Mount Olympus. This side also offers the best view of the Rhodes shoreline as the plane aligns with the runway.

🌊

Baltic Sea Crossing

Expansive views of the deep blue Baltic Sea immediately after departing Swedish airspace.

🏙️

Warsaw Skyline

The Polish capital often appears as a dense urban cluster along the Vistula River.

⛰️

High Tatra Mountains

Jagged, snow-capped peaks forming the natural border between Poland and Slovakia.

⛵

Aegean Archipelago

A stunning bird's-eye view of the scattered white-and-blue islands of the Cyclades.

🇹🇷

Turkish Riviera

The rugged, mountainous coastline of Datça and Marmaris visible during the final descent.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It provides an excellent perspective of the Turkish mainland as you turn for your final approach into Diagoras Airport.
