Rhodes Old Town
A bird's eye view of the UNESCO World Heritage medieval fortifications upon departure.
Turkish Riviera
The jagged, turquoise coastline of the Marmaris and Datça peninsulas.
Black Sea Coast
The transition from the Bulgarian coast to the deep blue expanse of the Black Sea.
Danube Delta
The intricate network of wetlands where the Danube meets the sea at the Romanian border.
Dnieper River
The winding blue artery of Ukraine, visible for much of the final leg of the journey.
The right side is ideal for capturing the contrast between the Turkish mountains and the sea. If the flight path takes you over the Black Sea, look for cargo ships. On approach to KBP, the Dnieper River is most prominent on this side, especially beautiful during the 'Golden Hour' before sunset.
