Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unrivaled panoramic journey starting with the volcanic Cyclades, followed by the rugged spine of the Balkan Peninsula and the dramatic peaks of the Austrian Alps during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
πŸŒ‹

Santorini Caldera

Shortly after departure, look for the iconic crescent shape of Santorini and the volcanic Nea Kameni at its center.

πŸ”οΈ

Mount Olympus

The mythical home of the Greek gods stands out as a massive snow-capped peak in northern Greece.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

Breathtaking views of the Croatian islands, including Hvar and Brač, set against the crystalline Adriatic Sea.

⛰️

Dinaric Alps

Rugged, white limestone mountain ranges stretching across Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia.

🌨️

Hohe Tauern Range

The dramatic entrance into Austrian airspace features the glaciers and high peaks of the Central Eastern Alps.

The right side is superior for island hopping views in the first 30 minutes. Be aware that on morning flights, the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, which can create significant glare. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos of the Croatian coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🌊

Western Cretan Coast

Aerial views of the turquoise waters surrounding the Balos Lagoon and Gramvousa Peninsula immediately after takeoff.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡·

Ionian Islands

Distant views of Zakynthos and Kefalonia as the flight tracks north over the deep blue Ionian Sea.

βš“

Bay of Kotor

A stunning glimpse of the fjord-like winding bay in Montenegro, characterized by steep limestone cliffs meeting the water.

πŸ›Ά

Venetian Horizon

On very clear days, the distant curve of the Italian coast near the Venetian Lagoon may be visible across the Adriatic.

🚠

Untersberg Mountain

The massive limestone plateau of the Untersberg dominates the view during the final descent into Salzburg Airport.

Sit in the forward section of the cabin to avoid the wing obscuring the view of the Balkan coastline. For late afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, providing excellent conditions for photography without glare from the sun.
