Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled panorama of the Adriatic Sea and the stunning archipelago of Croatia, culminating in a coastal approach over the Ionian islands.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
๐Ÿ๏ธ

Dalmatian Archipelago

An incredible view of Croatia's islands including Braฤ, Hvar, and Korฤula scattered in the blue Adriatic.

๐ŸŒŠ

Adriatic Horizon

Endless views of the turquoise sea meeting the deep blue horizon throughout the mid-flight.

๐Ÿฐ

Dubrovnik Coast

Distant views of the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' and the dramatic Montenegrin coastline.

๐Ÿ›ฅ๏ธ

Ionian Islands

Fly past the stunning islands of Corfu, Lefkada, and the mountainous Kefalonia.

Shipwreck View

As you approach Zakynthos from the north, you may spot the limestone cliffs near Navagio Beach.

The right side is the definitive winner for coastal scenery. Aim for a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the Croatian islands. On the descent into ZTH, the plane often follows the coastline of Zakynthos, providing views of the island's famous white cliffs and hidden coves. Best viewed on afternoon flights when the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the islands perfectly.

7.5
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Vienna Suburbs

Aerial views of the Danube River and the southern outskirts of the Austrian capital shortly after takeoff.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Eastern Alps

Dramatic views of the snow-capped Austrian and Slovenian peaks as the plane traverses central Europe.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Dinaric Alps

The rugged, limestone mountain ranges of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.

๐Ÿž๏ธ

Pindus Mountains

The mountainous backbone of mainland Greece featuring deep gorges and dense forests.

๐Ÿ›ฌ

Peloponnese Coast

Glimpses of the western Greek mainland as the plane prepares for its final descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights if you prefer to avoid the direct glare of the sun, which will be hitting the right side. This side is better for viewing the rugged interior of the Balkan Peninsula. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from the green Austrian hills to the stark, grey limestone of the Dinaric range.
