Dubrovnik Old Town
Immediate views of the historic walled city and its red-tiled roofs right after takeoff.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A spectacular sequence of islands including Mljet, Korčula, Hvar, and Brač.
Velebit Mountains
The dramatic limestone peaks of the Dinaric Alps running parallel to the coastline.
Kornati National Park
A dense labyrinth of over 100 raw, uninhabited islands and reefs.
Istrian Peninsula
The green landscape and coastal towns of Pula and Rovinj as you cross toward Italy.
Venetian Lagoon
Aerial views of the colorful islands of Burano and Murano during the final approach.
The right side is the definitive choice for this route. Sit here for the best light during morning flights to see the Croatian coast illuminated. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from DBV, as the plane often turns to provide a perfect view of the Old Town. During the descent into VCE, look for the unique geometric patterns of the salt marshes in the northern lagoon.

Adriatic Horizon
Expansive views of the deep blue Adriatic Sea with distant cargo ships and ferries.
Remote Islets
Occasional views of the more isolated western islands like Vis and Biševo.
Po River Delta
The intricate network of wetlands and channels where Italy's longest river meets the sea.
Lido di Venezia
The long, narrow barrier island that protects the Venetian Lagoon from the Adriatic.
St. Mark's Square
Depending on the landing vector, a chance to see the Campanile and Basilica from above.
Choose this side if you are flying during the late afternoon to avoid the direct sun glare from the west. While the mid-flight is mostly sea, the descent into Venice can offer a stunning view of the city center if the aircraft approaches from the south and circles over the lagoon.
