Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular geographic progression, starting with the Austrian Alps and transitioning into the stunning turquoise coastline of the Adriatic Sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Austrian Alps

Dramatic views of the snow-capped Hohe Tauern range shortly after reaching cruising altitude.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

The stunning sight of hundreds of Croatian islands set against the deep blue Adriatic Sea.

⚓

Bay of Kotor

The winding, fjord-like inlet of Montenegro, surrounded by limestone cliffs.

🌊

Ionian Islands

Vibrant turquoise waters surrounding Lefkada and Kefalonia as the flight skirts the western Greek coast.

🏛️

Peloponnese Peninsula

Rugged mountain ranges and deep gulfs of southern mainland Greece before crossing the sea to Crete.

The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. You will track the Adriatic coast for a significant portion of the flight. For the best experience, try to book a seat ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Alpine peaks and the intricate Croatian shoreline.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌾

Pannonian Basin

Expansive, fertile plains stretching across Hungary and northern Serbia.

🏔️

Rila and Pirin Mountains

The high, rugged peaks of the southern Balkans as you head toward Greece.

🏺

The Cyclades

Aerial views of the iconic Greek islands, often including Mykonos and Naxos, scattered in the blue Aegean.

🌋

Santorini Caldera

Depending on the specific airway, the distinct crescent shape of Thira is frequently visible to the left.

The left side is superior for spotting the Aegean islands during the final descent. For morning flights, this side will be in the shade, providing better conditions for photography of the Greek archipelago without window glare.
