RHO β†’ KBP

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior mix of the rugged Turkish coastline, the expansive Black Sea horizon, and the dramatic Dnieper River landscapes during the final approach into Kiev.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Rhodes Old Town

A bird's eye view of the UNESCO World Heritage medieval fortifications upon departure.

πŸ–οΈ

Turkish Riviera

The jagged, turquoise coastline of the Marmaris and DatΓ§a 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.

πŸ’§

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Rhodes North Tip

Aerial view of Rhodes City and the Elli Beach area immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Aegean Archipelago

Panoramic views of the Dodecanese and North Aegean islands like Samos and Chios.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

The rugged, forested ridges of the Stara Planina range crossing through Bulgaria.

🚜

Ukrainian Steppe

Distinctive geometric patterns of the vast agricultural heartland in Southern Ukraine.

πŸ™οΈ

Kiev Reservoir

The massive 'Kiev Sea' and the northern suburbs of the capital during the descent.

Sit on the left if you want to avoid the direct morning sun while traveling north. This side provides a better view of the Greek islands and the Balkan interior. During sunset flights, this side offers spectacular orange hues over the European continent.
