Bari Vecchia
A glimpse of the dense, historic maze of the old city and the Basilica di San Nicola immediately after departure.
Port of Durrës
Albania's most important maritime hub, featuring a massive breakwater and a coastal amphitheater visible as you make landfall.
Mount Dajti
The prominent limestone massif that looms over Tirana, offering a dramatic backdrop as the plane turns for its final approach.
Tirana Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the colorful residential blocks and the sprawling urban layout of the Albanian capital.
The right side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the 'Golden Hour' lighting over the Albanian coast. Keep your camera ready as you approach Durrës; the contrast between the turquoise sea and the urban landscape is stunning.
