Which side of the plane to sit from Zadar Airport (Zadar) to Marseille Provence Airport (Marseille)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior coastal experience, featuring the dense Zadar archipelago upon departure and the breathtaking limestone cliffs of the Calanques during the final approach into Marseille.
Kornati Archipelago
A dense cluster of over 100 islands and reefs visible immediately after departing Zadar.
Lazio Coastline
Views of the Italian shore near Rome, including the coastal lakes of Bracciano and Bolsena.
Tyrrhenian Sea
Vast expanses of deep blue water as the flight crosses from the Italian coast toward France.
Côte d'Azur
Glittering aerial views of the French Riviera, including the prestigious ports of Cannes and St. Tropez.
Calanques National Park
Dramatic white limestone cliffs and turquoise inlets that mark the final approach to Marseille.
For the best photography, choose a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the French Riviera and the Calanques with a golden hue. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight, as the descent over the Mediterranean coast is the most scenic portion of the journey.
Velebit Mountains
The rugged, karst peaks of the Dinaric Alps visible to the north shortly after takeoff.
Central Apennines
The mountainous spine of Italy, often snow-capped in winter, seen while crossing the peninsula.
Tuscan Countryside
The rolling hills and geometric vineyard patterns of inland Tuscany and Umbria.
Island of Elba
A clear view of the large island in the Tuscan Archipelago, famous for Napoleon's exile.
Mont Sainte-Victoire
The iconic limestone mountain ridge near Aix-en-Provence, a favorite subject of painter Paul Cézanne.
The right side is ideal for mountain lovers. During winter or early spring, the Apennines and the distant Southern Alps provide a stunning snow-covered backdrop. On descent, look inland to spot the distinct ridge of Sainte-Victoire and the typical Provencal landscape of vineyards and red-tiled roofs.
