Our Recommendation
9.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a continuous panoramic display of the Balkan coastline, including the dramatic Bay of Kotor, the terracotta rooftops of Dubrovnik, and the intricate patterns of the Dalmatian islands during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
9.4
🏔️

Pindus Mountains

The 'spine of Greece' offers rugged, snow-capped peaks during winter months as you fly north.

🏖️

Albanian Riviera

Stunning coastal views of Sarandë and the Llogara Pass where the mountains meet the turquoise sea.

⚓

Bay of Kotor

A breathtaking sight of Europe's southernmost 'fjord' with its winding waters and steep limestone cliffs.

🏰

Dubrovnik Old Town

The 'Pearl of the Adriatic' is clearly visible with its iconic medieval walls and red-tiled roofs.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

A bird's-eye view of Korčula, Hvar, and Brač islands, showcasing their unique elongated shapes and hidden coves.

✈️

Split Approach

Dramatic low-altitude views of the Kaštela Bay and the historic Trogir islet just before touchdown.

The right side is significantly more scenic. For the best clarity and to avoid sun glare, a morning flight is ideal as the sun will be behind the plane. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes before landing to capture the perfect shot of Dubrovnik and the Montenegrin coast.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Gulf of Corinth

Panoramic views of the deep blue waters separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Ionian Islands

Distal views of Cephalonia and Lefkada as the plane tracks northwest along the Greek coast.

🌅

Adriatic Horizon

Unobstructed views of the open sea, particularly stunning during late afternoon flights as the sun begins to set.

🗺️

Island of Vis

The most remote of the major Croatian islands appears on the left during the final approach phase.

Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to enjoy the sunset over the Adriatic Sea. While there is more open water on this side, the approach into Split often involves a turn that provides a wide-angle view of the outer islands like Biševo and Vis.
