Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the high Alps, including Mont Blanc, followed by a stunning descent over the Ionian islands and the turquoise waters of Lefkada.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🗼

Paris Suburbs

Depending on the exact flight path, the outskirts of Paris and the Seine river are often visible.

🏔️

Mont Blanc

The highest peak in the Alps is a major highlight, often appearing very close to the flight path.

🇮🇹

Italian Lakes

Vibrant views of Lake Maggiore and the northern Italian plains as the plane heads south.

🏝️

Ionian Islands

Breathtaking views of Paxos and Antipaxos, known for their incredible turquoise waters.

🌉

Lefkada & Causeway

A perfect view of the floating bridge and the salt marshes connecting Lefkada to the mainland.

The right side is the definitive winner for the approach into Preveza. The aircraft usually banks over the Ionian Sea, offering a panoramic view of the islands. For the best photography of the Alps, mid-day flights provide the most consistent lighting without harsh shadows.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

English Channel & Dover

Aerial view of the white cliffs and the busy shipping lanes of the world's busiest strait.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

Spectacular views of the eastern Swiss peaks and the snow-capped Bernese Oberland.

🛶

Venice Lagoon

On clear days, the distinctive shape of Venice and the northern Adriatic coast are visible in the distance.

🇦🇱

Albanian Riviera

The rugged mountains of southern Albania meeting the deep blue Ionian Sea.

💧

Ambracian Gulf

The unique, nearly enclosed body of water surrounding the airport during the final approach.

Early morning flights provide stunning soft light on the Alps to the left. As you approach Preveza, look for the unique wetlands of the Ambracian Gulf. Sit ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze distorting your photos of the mountains.
