Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular aerial tour of the Aegean Sea's archipelagos and the rugged coastline of Western Turkey before landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Alpine Horizon

On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Austrian and Bavarian Alps can be seen to the far west during the first hour of flight.

⛪

Mount Athos

View of the Holy Mountain's peninsula in Northern Greece, jutting out into the North Aegean Sea.

🏝️

North Aegean Islands

Stunning vistas of islands like Lemnos and Lesbos (Mytilene) as the aircraft crosses from Europe toward the Anatolian coast.

🌊

Karaburun Peninsula

Excellent views of the turquoise waters and jagged cliffs of the Karaburun area just before turning toward the runway.

For the most scenic experience, choose the right side on afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Aegean Sea. This side offers superior views of the Greek islands. Keep your camera ready as you pass Lesbos, as the contrast between the blue sea and the mountainous island terrain is a highlight of the route.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Berlin Skyline

Upon departure, views of the TV Tower and Berlin's urban landscape are often visible depending on the wind direction.

💧

The Danube Bend

Aerial view of the Danube River as it snakes through Central Europe, particularly around the Hungarian-Serbian border.

⛰️

Balkan Mountains

Cruising over the rugged peaks of the Stara Planina range in Bulgaria, showcasing deep valleys and forest ridges.

🏘️

Izmir City Center

During the final descent into ADB, the left side typically overlooks the sprawling urban districts of Izmir and the inner bay.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. It provides a more terrestrial view of the Balkan Peninsula. If the plane approaches Izmir from the north, you will have a direct view of the city's dense urban core and the iconic clock tower area from a distance.
