Dinaric Alps
Spectacular views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks of Montenegro and the Accursed Mountains shortly after departure.
Bay of Kotor
The winding, fjord-like bay of Montenegro is visible as the flight tracks northwest along the coast.
Dalmatian Archipelago
Fly over the stunning maze of Croatian islands including Hvar, Brač, and the Kornati National Park.
Venice Historic Center
The ultimate highlight: a breathtaking view of the Grand Canal, St. Mark's Square, and the entire fish-shaped city.
Distant Dolomites
On clear days, the jagged peaks of the Italian Dolomites are visible to the north as you descend into the Veneto region.
This is the premier side for this route. For the iconic 'Venice from above' shot, try to sit slightly behind the wing. The approach into Marco Polo often follows the coast, making the right side the best for spotting the Doge's Palace and the Rialto Bridge. Morning flights offer the best lighting on the Balkan mountains.

Durrës Coastline
Catch a glimpse of Albania's premier coastal city and the long sandy stretches of the Adriatic shore shortly after takeoff.
Open Adriatic
A serene view of the deep blue Adriatic Sea stretching toward the horizon, offering great light for photography.
Chioggia & Pellestrina
On the final approach, see the southern entrance to the Venetian Lagoon and the narrow barrier islands.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. While more minimalist, it offers a peaceful view of the sea and the Po Delta region if the approach path swings south.
