Estonian Archipelago
Clear views of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa islands during the initial climb out of Tallinn.
High Tatras
Sharp alpine peaks and glacial lakes along the border of Poland and Slovakia.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the gods, rising prominently above the Greek mainland.
Gulf of Corinth
A narrow strip of turquoise water separating central Greece from the Peloponnese.
Heraklion Approach
Dramatic low-altitude views of the Cretan coastline and the Venetian Harbor before landing.
Sit here for the most dramatic mountain scenery mid-flight. The approach into Heraklion often involves a turn over the sea that provides this side with a perfect view of the city and the rugged Dia Island. Use a polarizing filter for photos to capture the intense turquoise of the Mediterranean waters.

Scenic views of the Latvian coastline and the Baltic sea shortly after departure from Tallinn.

A distant bird's-eye view of the Polish capital and the winding Vistula River.
Eastern Carpathians
Vast forested mountain ranges stretching across Slovakia and Romania.
Cyclades Islands
