Cyprus Coastline
Clear views of the northern and western shores of Cyprus during the initial cruise phase.
Greek Mainland
Depending on the airway, views of the Peloponnese or the outskirts of Athens.
Dalmatian Coast
The striking contrast of the Croatian islands and the karst limestone mountains of the Balkans.
The High Alps
Spectacular views of snow-capped peaks, including the possibility of seeing Mont Blanc if the route is northerly.
Burgundy Vineyards
The geometric patterns of famous French wine regions as you enter the heart of France.
Paris Basin
The sprawling urban landscape and suburbs of southern Paris during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for photography on afternoon flights as the sun is on the opposite side, providing perfectly lit landscapes. Keep your camera ready about 3.5 to 4 hours into the flight for the Alps crossing. If the flight path takes a slightly more northern track, you may also see the distant lights of Venice when flying over the Adriatic.

Tel Aviv Shoreline
Breathtaking departure views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Jaffa port area.
Crete & Southern Greece
Aerial views of the southern rugged coast of Crete and the deep blue Libyan Sea.
Ionian Islands
Glimpses of Zakynthos and Kefalonia's turquoise bays as the plane crosses into Europe.
Southern Alps
Panoramic views of the Maritime Alps and the transition into French mountainous terrain.
Massif Central
The unique volcanic plateaus and dormant craters of central France during descent.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Israeli coastline immediately after takeoff. On a late afternoon flight, be aware that the sun will be on this side, which can cause significant glare and heat. However, if the plane approaches Orly from the south on Runway 06, you might get a distant view of the Eiffel Tower during the final turns.
