Stunning views of the glaciated peaks of the Austrian and Italian border regions.
Dalmatian Coast
The breathtaking sight of the Croatian archipelago with hundreds of white islands in the Adriatic.
Rio-Antirrio Bridge
A clear view of the iconic cable-stayed bridge connecting the Peloponnese to mainland Greece.
Ionian Islands
Distant turquoise waters surrounding the islands of Corfu, Lefkada, and Cephalonia.
Corinth Canal
The narrow, perfectly straight blue line of the canal visible just before the final turn into Athens.
The right side is the scenic winner for this route. Afternoon flights offer golden hour lighting over the Adriatic Sea. Watch closely after crossing the Croatian border for the most intricate island patterns, and stay alert during the descent for the Isthmus of Corinth.

Bird's eye views of the high Austrian peaks, including the Grossglockner massif in the distance.

The dramatic and rugged mountain ranges spanning across Montenegro and northern Albania.
Euboea Island
The long, mountainous coastline of Greece's second-largest island as you approach Attica.
