Saxon Switzerland
Shortly after takeoff, view the unique Elbe Sandstone Mountains and the winding Elbe river valley south of Dresden.
Prague Cityscape
As you head south, the 'City of a Hundred Spires' is often visible in the distance to the east.
Austrian Alps
Spectacular views of the Hohe Tauern range, including the Grossglockner, the highest peak in Austria.
Dalmatian Coast
The intricate network of Croatian islands and the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea near Zadar and Split.
Albanian Riviera
The dramatic Ceraunian Mountains meeting the sea near Sarandë, just north of Corfu.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is superior for seeing the mountainous transition from Central Europe to the Mediterranean. During the final approach to Corfu (Runway 34), you will see the mainland Greek coast and the Butrint National Park in Albania.

Adriatic Expanse
A vast blue horizon over the open Adriatic Sea as the flight bypasses the Italian coast.
West Corfu Coast
Stunning views of the Paleokastritsa bays and the dramatic cliffs of the island's western edge upon descent.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Ionian Sea. It offers the best perspective of the island of Corfu itself during the final descent, including the iconic Vlacherna Monastery if the plane loops around for a southern approach.
