Which side of the plane to sit from Diagoras Airport (Rhodos) to Berlin-Schönefeld Airport (Berlin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior sequence of views, starting with a panorama of the Dodecanese islands and culminating in a frequent aerial view of the Berlin city center during the approach to the southern airfield.

Dodecanese Islands
Aerial views of Symi, Tilos, and the volcanic island of Nisyros immediately after takeoff from Rhodes.
Mount Olympus
On clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the highest mountain in Greece are visible to the far west.
The Danube River
Watch the massive waterway wind through the Balkan landscapes and the Hungarian plains.
Austrian Alps
Distant but majestic views of the eastern Alpine ridges as the plane traverses Central Europe.
Berlin Cityscape
On standard approach paths from the south, the TV Tower and the dense urban center are visible out the left window.
For the best experience, choose a seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. On evening flights, the left side captures the sunset over the Mediterranean and Balkan mountains. Keep an eye out for the Elbe River about 20 minutes before landing, as it signals the entry into the final approach phase.

Turkish Coastline
Excellent views of the rugged Datça Peninsula and the turquoise waters of the Turkish Riviera.
Balkan Mountains
The dramatic terrain of Bulgaria and the southern curve of the Carpathian Mountains in Romania.
Budapest
The flight path often passes near the Hungarian capital, offering views of the Parliament and the bridges of the Danube.
Prague
The distinctive red roofs and historical layout of the Czech capital can be seen as you head toward Germany.
Tropical Islands Resort
The massive white dome, formerly an airship hangar, is a landmark located just south of Berlin near the final descent.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides a better look at the Turkish mainland early in the flight. Watch for the 'Tropical Islands' dome roughly 10-15 minutes before landing—it is one of the largest self-supporting structures in the world and serves as a perfect landmark for the arrival into Berlin.
