ATH → DBV
Which side of the plane to sit from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (Athens) to Dubrovnik Airport (Dubrovnik)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the rugged Balkan interior, including the Pindus Mountains and the stunning Bay of Kotor just before landing.
Mount Parnassus
The dramatic peaks of central Greece, often snow-capped in winter, visible shortly after departure.
Pindus Range
Fly over the 'Spine of Greece,' featuring deep gorges and dense forests of the Epirus region.
Lake Shkodër
The largest lake in the Balkans, straddling the border between Albania and Montenegro.
Bay of Kotor
A breathtaking fjord-like bay in Montenegro, featuring steep limestone cliffs dropping into the sea.
Konavle Valley
The lush agricultural heartland of southern Croatia visible during the final approach into DBV.
The right side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. The approach into Dubrovnik is one of Europe's most scenic; watch closely as the plane crosses from Montenegro into Croatia for the spectacular Bay of Kotor. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the mountain ranges.
Saronic Gulf
Immediate views of the islands of Aegina and Salamis shortly after takeoff from Athens.
Ionian Islands
Aerial views of Lefkada and the turquoise waters surrounding the southern tip of Corfu.
Adriatic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea as you track north along the coastline.
Dubrovnik Riviera
As the plane descends, catch glimpses of the Elaphiti Islands and the outskirts of the Old City.
Sit on the left if you prefer sea views and island silhouettes. For afternoon flights, this side will experience significant sun glare, so bring sunglasses or choose the right side to avoid direct sunlight.
