Spectacular views of the Salzkammergut region and the Dachstein Glacier as the flight crosses into Austria.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning sequence of Croatian islands including Hvar and Brač set against the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Bay of Kotor
The winding, fjord-like bay of Montenegro, surrounded by sheer limestone cliffs dropping into the water.
Albanian Riviera
The white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of the Ionian coast near Sarandë.
Corfu Town & Pontikonisi
The world-famous approach over the Old Fortress of Corfu and the tiny Mouse Island just before touchdown.
Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Croatian islands. The approach into CFU is one of Europe's most scenic; if the wind is from the North, you will see the Old Town and the narrow causeway of Kanoni directly out your window. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography on this side.
