Odessa Port
A bird's-eye view of the historic harbor and the 'Pearl of the Black Sea' shortly after takeoff.
Black Sea Crossing
Deep blue water stretches to the horizon as the flight moves south toward the Turkish coast.

Cyprus Eastern Cape
Aerial perspectives of the Karpas Peninsula and the crystal-clear waters of the eastern Mediterranean.
Tel Aviv Skyline
The dense metropolitan high-rises and the Mediterranean beach strip during the final approach.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to avoid the glare of the sun. Sit well ahead of the wing to capture unobstructed photos of the Taurus Mountains. During the descent into Ben Gurion, this side typically provides the best view of the Israeli coastline as the plane banks for its final approach.

Turkish Riviera
Stunning views of the 'Turquoise Coast' near Antalya, featuring hidden bays and resort towns.
Tuz Gölü
On clear days, the massive white salt lake in Central Anatolia is visible as a bright white expanse.
Mediterranean Horizon
Perfect for late afternoon flights to watch the sun set over the open sea.
Old Jaffa
The ancient stone structures of Jaffa's port are often visible during the final banking maneuvers over the sea.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights if you want to witness a Mediterranean sunset. It offers a more expansive view of the sea during the mid-flight segment. Keep your camera ready as you approach the Israeli coast, as the aircraft often makes a wide turn over the Mediterranean before landing, providing a brief view of the historic Jaffa port.
