Elaphiti Islands
A cluster of lush green islands scattered in the turquoise waters just north of Dubrovnik.
Peljeลกac Peninsula
The long, rugged finger of land famous for its steep vineyards and the ancient walls of Ston.
Kornati Archipelago
A dense labyrinth of nearly 100 stark, white islands forming a unique maritime national park.
Velebit Mountains
The massive limestone range where the jagged peaks meet the deep blue of the Adriatic Sea.
Julian Alps
The snow-capped peaks of Slovenia, including Mount Triglav, visible on the horizon during cruise.
Vienna Woods
The forested highlands of the Wienerwald marking the final descent into the Vienna Basin.
Sit on the left for the best coastal photography. On morning flights, the sun is positioned to the east, providing excellent lighting on the islands without window glare. Immediately after takeoff from DBV, look down quickly; depending on the wind, you may see the terracotta rooftops of Dubrovnik's Old Town. In winter, the contrast between the blue sea and the snow-capped Velebit mountains is spectacular.

The right side is ideal for travelers who prefer inland mountain scenery and rugged topography. On late afternoon flights, this side catches the 'golden hour' light, making the limestone peaks of the Dinarides glow. During the final descent, watch for the wind turbines of the Parndorf Plain, which indicate you are crossing into the Vienna Basin. It is also the better side for viewing the outskirts of Graz mid-flight.
