Bucharest Skyline
Panoramic view of the Romanian capital including the Palace of Parliament if taking off towards the south.
Rodope Mountains
Dense forests and sprawling landscapes of the southern Bulgarian highlands.
Antalya Coastline
Breathtaking views of the Turkish Riviera where the mountains meet the turquoise Mediterranean sea.
Mediterranean Horizon
Expansive sea views where you can occasionally spot the Dodecanese islands in the far distance.
Larnaca Salt Lake
A stunning view of the salt flats and pink waters (seasonal) just before touching down at LCA.
The right side is superior for photography during the late afternoon as the sun illuminates the Turkish coast. On the final approach into Larnaca, the right side usually offers the best view of the Hala Sultan Tekke mosque and the salt lake.
Book Hotels in Larnaca
Danube River
Aerial view of the massive river forming the natural border between Romania and Bulgaria.
Balkan Mountains
Crossing the rugged central peaks of Bulgaria shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Eastern Taurus Range
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys as the flight traverses southern Turkey.
Kyrenia Mountains
View of the narrow 'Five Finger' mountain range stretching across Northern Cyprus.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is better for spotting the silhouette of the Kyrenia range as you descend into the island's airspace.
