PFO → KRK
Which side of the plane to sit from Paphos International Airport (Paphos) to Kraków John Paul II International Airport (Krakow)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic Taurus Mountains in Turkey and the most iconic peaks of the High Tatras during the descent into Poland.
Troodos Mountains
Views of the forested heart of Cyprus and the summit of Mount Olympus shortly after departure.
Taurus Mountains
The massive, snow-dusted peaks of southern Turkey rising abruptly from the Mediterranean coastline.
The Danube Bend
The scenic curve of Europe's second-longest river as it flows through northern Hungary.
Low Tatras National Park
Extensive evergreen forests and deep valleys of central Slovakia passing underneath.
High Tatra Peaks
Spectacular close-up views of Lomnický štít and the highest granite summits of the Carpathians.
Krakow Surroundings
The historic Vistula river valley and Polish countryside just before touching down at KRK.
Sit on the right for the most dramatic mountain scenery. The Taurus Mountains (20-30 mins in) and the High Tatras (20 mins before landing) are the true highlights. In winter, these ranges are stunningly white.
Akamas Peninsula
The rugged, northwestern tip of Cyprus with crystal-clear lagoons visible immediately after takeoff.
Rhodes & Aegean Islands
Panoramic views of the Dodecanese islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea.
Rila & Pirin Ranges
Glacial lakes and jagged limestone peaks of the highest mountains in the Balkans.
Budapest & The Danube
A distant view of the Hungarian capital's sprawling layout and the Parliament building.
Western Tatras
The grassy, rounded ridges of the Slovak-Polish border as the plane begins its final descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. This side is also better for spotting the sprawling urban lights of Belgrade or Budapest during night flights.
