PADAYT

Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of dramatic landscapes, including the heart of the Alps, the jagged Italian Dolomites, and a stunning perspective of the Turkish Turquoise Coast during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏙️

Munich & Bavarian Lakes

The Bavarian capital and the blue waters of Lake Starnberg and Ammersee.

🏔️

The Dolomites

The iconic, sharp limestone peaks of the Italian Alps, often dusted with snow.

🏖️

Dalmatian Coast

The turquoise waters and white pebble beaches of the Croatian Adriatic islands.

🏝️

Rhodes & Dodecanese

The Greek islands scattered across the Aegean Sea as the plane crosses towards Turkey.

🌅

The Turquoise Coast

The dramatic cliffs and hidden bays of the Lycian Way near Fethiye and Kaş.

This is the premier side for photography. Morning flights provide crisp, front-lit views of the Alps. Watch specifically for the transition from the rugged Dolomites to the Adriatic Sea. As you approach Antalya, the plane often hugs the coastline, providing a 'top-down' view of the Mediterranean's famous turquoise edges.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Hohe Tauern National Park

Glaciated peaks of the Eastern Alps, including views towards the Grossglockner massif.

🌊

The Danube River

The winding silver thread of Europe's second-longest river near Belgrade and the Iron Gates.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

The rugged, rolling terrain of Bulgaria and the northern reaches of the Turkish Thrace.

🏙️

Antalya Cityscape

The sprawling urban landscape and historic harbor visible as you banking for the final landing.

Sit here for better lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Keep an eye out for the crossing of the Danube River approximately mid-flight. During the descent, you will get an excellent view of the Taurus Mountains bordering the Antalya plateau.
