Search flights from NAP to KBP
Mount Vesuvius
An unparalleled aerial view of the active volcano and its crater immediately after takeoff from Naples.
Dalmatian Coast
The spectacular crystalline waters and hundreds of islands along the Croatian shoreline.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, karst mountain range running through Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Transylvanian Alps
The southern reach of the Carpathian Mountains, known for high peaks and dense forests.
Dnieper River
The massive, winding river system that serves as a landmark during the approach to Boryspil.
The right side is essential for seeing Vesuvius; ensure you are looking out within the first 5 minutes of flight. For the best views of the Croatian islands, a daytime flight is mandatory. During the final descent into KBP, the Dnieper River's wide basin is a major highlight on the right.
Book Hotels in KievCentral Apennines
The 'backbone' of Italy, featuring limestone peaks and deep valleys shortly after takeoff.
Northern Adriatic
Expansive views of the sea as the flight crosses from Italy towards the Balkans.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest freshwater lake, easily identifiable by its turquoise hue in Hungary.
Budapest Environs
The sprawling metropolitan area of the Hungarian capital visible to the north.
Ukrainian Steppe
The vast, geometric patchworks of fertile agricultural land in Western Ukraine.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights, avoiding direct sun glare. Watch for the distinct shape of Lake Balaton roughly midway through the journey. In winter, the Apennines and Carpathians offer a beautiful snowy landscape on this side.
