Central Apennines
The rugged 'spine' of Italy featuring the limestone peaks of the Abruzzo region shortly after departure.
Adriatic Sea
A crossing of the deep blue waters separating the Italian peninsula from the Balkan coast.
Balkan Interior
Aerial views of the dense forests and mountainous terrain of Montenegro and southern Serbia.
Black Sea Northern Reach
A vast expanse of water where the horizon often blends seamlessly with the sky on clear days.
Greater Caucasus
The flight's crown jewel: the massive, jagged peaks of the Caucasus range appearing to the north during descent.
Choose the left side for optimal photography; since the flight heads east/northeast, the sun will be on the right for most of the day, reducing glare on the left windows. Look out for the snow-peaked Mount Kazbek in the distance as you enter Georgian airspace. For the best lighting on the mountains, a mid-afternoon flight is ideal.

Rome & Lazio Coast
Immediate views of the Tyrrhenian coastline and the outskirts of the Eternal City during the initial climb.
Dalmatian Archipelago
The stunning turquoise waters and hundreds of islands along the Croatian coastline.

Glimpses of the Bulgarian capital nestled at the foot of the massive Vitosha mountain massif.
Turkish Black Sea Coast
Distant views of the Anatolian coastline to the south while cruising over the Black Sea.
Mtkvari River Valley

The right side offers excellent views of the Balkan coastline early in the flight. Be aware that on morning departures, you will face direct sunlight, which can make it quite warm and difficult to see out the window. During the landing phase, the right side provides a closer look at the rolling hills of Georgia's famous wine regions.
