Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior visual journey, featuring the majestic Eastern Alps, the glittering Adriatic coastline of the Balkans, and a stunning aerial traversal of the Aegean Islands before descending into the Turkish Riviera.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Eastern Alps

Spectacular views of the Austrian Alps, including the Dachstein Massif, depending on the specific airway used.

🏖️

Adriatic Coastline

The white stone and turquoise waters of the Dalmatian coast, including the islands of Croatia.

🇬🇷

Aegean Archipelago

A bird's-eye view of the Greek islands scattered across the deep blue Aegean Sea during the mid-flight phase.

🏝️

Rhodes Island

Often visible as a large landmass to the west just before the flight turns toward the Turkish mainland.

🌅

Antalya Bay

Stunning views of the Mediterranean coastline and the famous cliffs of Antalya during the final approach.

This side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. For afternoon flights, you will witness a beautiful sunset over the Mediterranean. During the final approach to AYT, ensure your window is clear to capture the contrast between the turquoise sea and the urban sprawl of the Turkish Riviera.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Berlin & Brandenburg

Immediate views of the Spree river and the lush forests of the Dahme-Heideseen Nature Park shortly after takeoff.

🏰

Prague Cityscape

Clear views of the Vltava river and the historic rooftops of the Czech capital if the flight path stays east of the city.

🌊

The Danube Bend

The dramatic curve of the Danube river as it flows through Hungary and northern Serbia.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

The rugged, rolling peaks of the Stara Planina range stretching across the horizon of Bulgaria.

🏔️

Western Taurus Peaks

Dramatic snow-capped limestone peaks during the final descent into Antalya.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides an excellent perspective of the inland Anatolian plateau and the sheer scale of the Taurus Mountains as you approach the Turkish coast. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best mountain photography.
