Turkish Riviera
Excellent views of the Marmaris coastline and the jagged peninsulas of Southwest Turkey during the initial climb.
Mount Olympus
The highest peak in Greece and mythical home of the gods, often visible rising above the clouds near Thessaloniki.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning sequence of Croatian islands including Hvar, Braฤ, and Korฤula set against turquoise waters.
Lake Constance
The massive 'Bodensee' marking the border between Germany, Austria, and Switzerland during the descent.
Swabian Jura
The rolling limestone plateau and forested hills of Southern Germany as the aircraft approaches Stuttgart.
The right side is essential for the Croatian coast, which is the visual highlight of this route. For the best photos of Lake Constance, wait for the descent phase approximately 20 minutes before landing. Avoid this side on late afternoon flights if you want to dodge direct glare from the setting sun.

Rhodes Old Town
Aerial view of the medieval city walls and the Palace of the Grand Master shortly after departure.
Pindus Mountains
The rugged 'spine of Greece' featuring deep gorges and high limestone peaks during the crossing of the mainland.
Adriatic Horizon
Deep blue vistas of the open Adriatic Sea as the flight tracks northwest toward Central Europe.
High Alps
Distances views of the glaciated peaks of the Swiss and Austrian Alps as you cross the mountain barrier.
Sit on the left for better lighting during morning flights to avoid the sun. Keep an eye out for the Peloponnese peninsula if the flight path tracks further south. In winter, the snow-covered Balkan ranges provide high-contrast views that are best captured from this side.
