Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panoramic view of the turquoise Adriatic coastline, the intricate Dalmatian archipelago, and the stunning Ionian islands before descending into the Peloponnese.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏔️

Austrian Alps

Spectacular views of the Eastern Alps, including the Rax and Schneeberg massifs shortly after departure.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

Hundreds of white-stone islands dotting the deep blue Adriatic Sea along the Croatian coast.

🏰

Dubrovnik

The iconic 'Pearl of the Adriatic' with its medieval walls often visible from high altitude.

🌊

Ionian Islands

Beautiful views of Lefkada, Kefalonia, and Zakynthos as the plane tracks south.

🏖️

Navarino Bay

The historic bay near Pylos with its turquoise waters and the Voidokilia beach signature curve.

The right side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. For the best photography, book a seat in front of the wing. On afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended to combat glare off the water.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Vienna & Danube

Aerial views of the Austrian capital and the winding Danube river immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Lake Neusiedl

A glimpse of Central Europe's large endorheic lake on the border of Austria and Hungary.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

Rugged limestone peaks stretching across Bosnia and Montenegro.

🏔️

Taygetos Mountains

The highest mountain range of the Peloponnese, offering dramatic rocky scenery during descent.

⚓

Port of Kalamata

A final view of the bustling Messenian port and the deep blue gulf before landing.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy clearer views of the Balkan interior. This side is particularly impressive during the final descent into Kalamata as you pass the massive Taygetos range.
