Venetian Lagoon
Aerial view of the Lido di Venezia and the northern Adriatic marshlands immediately after departure from Marco Polo.
Istrian Peninsula
The heart-shaped peninsula featuring historic coastal towns like Rovinj and the Roman amphitheater in Pula.
Velebit Mountains
The dramatic limestone peaks of the Dinaric Alps that create a stark contrast against the deep blue sea.
Kornati Archipelago
A dense cluster of over 100 uninhabited islands and reefs forming a unique nautical labyrinth below.
Dubrovnik Old Town
A world-class view of the UNESCO city walls, the Stradun, and the terracotta rooftops just before touchdown.
Sit on the left (Port side) for the best views of the Croatian islands. For the iconic Dubrovnik Old Town view, ensure the plane is landing on Runway 11. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the white limestone of the coast and the vibrant blues of the water.

Venice City Center
If departing toward the southwest, a brief but stunning view of the Grand Canal and St. Marks Square.
Open Adriatic
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue horizon and the shimmering expanse of the Adriatic Sea.
Maritime Routes
Look for cruise ships and ferries navigating the international waters between Italy and the Balkan coast.
The right side is best for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Adriatic. While it lacks the coastal detail of the left, it provides a sense of the vastness of the sea. On a very clear day, you may occasionally spot the distant Italian shoreline near the start of the flight.
