Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a continuous panorama of the Adriatic and Ionian coastlines, featuring the historic city of Venice, the rugged Balkan mountains, and the iconic Greek islands.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🎭

Venice and the Lagoon

Shortly after takeoff, enjoy a spectacular bird's-eye view of the historic center of Venice and the surrounding islands.

🏝️

Dalmatian Archipelago

Stunning views of the numerous Croatian islands dotting the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea.

⚓

Bay of Kotor

The dramatic, winding bay of Montenegro, often described as Europe's southernmost fjord, is visible from high altitude.

🏖️

Ionian Islands

Fly over or past Corfu, Lefkada, and Zakynthos, famous for their vibrant turquoise waters and white cliffs.

⛰️

Western Peloponnese

The rugged coastline and mountainous interior of western Greece provide a majestic backdrop before the final sea crossing.

For the best photography, choose a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine exhaust. Afternoon flights are ideal for the left side as the sun will be behind or above the plane, illuminating the Balkan coastline perfectly.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
🏖️

Venetian Lido

Views of the long, sandy barrier islands that protect the Venetian Lagoon from the Adriatic Sea.

🌊

Deep Adriatic Sea

A vast expanse of deep blue water, often scattered with cargo ships and ferries traveling between Italy and Greece.

🌅

Ionian Horizon

Offers expansive, unobstructed views of the horizon, which are particularly beautiful during sunset flights.

🏝️

Western Cretan Coast

As the plane descends, catch glimpses of the rugged cliffs and hidden beaches along the western edge of Crete.

🏔️

White Mountains (Lefka Ori)

During the approach into Chania, the snow-capped or limestone peaks of Crete's largest mountain range appear to the south.

The right side is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. It offers a more serene experience dominated by sea views until the dramatic approach into the Akrotiri Peninsula.
