Cyprus Coastline
Excellent views of the southern shores of Cyprus, including Limassol and the Troodos Mountains.
Taurus Mountains

Transylvanian Alps

High Tatra Mountains
The most spectacular feature of the trip, showcasing the jagged peaks of the Poland-Slovakia border.
Sit on the right for morning flights to keep the sun behind the plane and avoid glare. The highlight is the High Tatras; look out for them approximately 25 minutes before landing. In winter, the snow-covered Taurus and Tatra ranges are particularly breathtaking from this side.
