Krk Bridge
A spectacular view of the massive concrete arch bridge connecting Krk Island to the mainland immediately after takeoff.
Kvarner Gulf
Panoramic vistas of the deep blue northern Adriatic, with the Opatija Riviera visible in the distance.
Risnjak National Park
Dense, prehistoric forests and the white limestone peaks of the Gorski Kotar mountain range.
Rijeka Cityscape
Views of Croatia's primary port city nestled between the mountains and the sea.
Sit on the left for the best view of the Krk Bridge departure. This flight is very short (often under 30 minutes), so keep your camera ready from the moment the wheels leave the tarmac. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the sun over the sea.

Krk Inland
The rocky, karst landscape of Krk Island and the industrial architectural interest of the OmiΕ‘alj terminal.

The 'City of Four Rivers', where you can often spot the confluence of the Kupa and Korana rivers.
Pannonian Basin
The landscape flattens into the fertile agricultural plains surrounding the capital city.
