Lake Constance
Known as Bodensee, this massive lake on the border of Germany, Switzerland, and Austria is visible shortly after takeoff.
The Dolomites
Distinctive, jagged limestone peaks of the Italian Alps offering some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in Europe.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Hundreds of white-stone islands set against the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea along the Croatian coastline.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, karst mountain chain stretching through Montenegro and Albania toward the Greek border.
Mount Olympus
On clear days, the legendary home of the Greek gods can be spotted to the southwest as you approach the Kavala region.
Choose the right side for the most diverse scenery. On morning flights, use a polarizing filter if taking photos to cut through the haze over the Adriatic. The approach into Kavala (KVA) often involves a turn over the sea, giving the right side a panoramic view of the coastline and the city's aqueduct if the wind dictates a western landing.
Book Hotels in KavalaEastern Alps
Spectacular views of the Austrian Alpine ridges and the Berchtesgaden region shortly after reaching cruise altitude.
Pannonian Basin
The vast, flat fertile plains of Hungary and northern Serbia provide a stark contrast to the mountainous terrain.
Rhodope Mountains
Ancient, densely forested mountain ranges along the Bulgarian-Greek border as the flight begins its descent.
Island of Thasos
A brilliant green emerald in the North Aegean Sea visible just south of the airport during the final approach.
The left side is excellent for early morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. Watch for the Danube river snaking through the plains of Central Europe during the mid-flight phase.
