The 'spine of Greece' featuring rugged limestone peaks and deep green valleys.
The Alpine Arc
Panoramic views of the snow-capped Italian and French Alps, often including the highest peaks like Mont Blanc.
Po Valley & Milan
The dense urban grid of Northern Italy and the winding path of the Po River.
Loire Estuary
The magnificent sight of the Loire River meeting the Atlantic Ocean as you approach Nantes.
The right side is the prime choice for mountain lovers; the Alps will be visible for a significant portion of the mid-flight. For evening flights, you may witness a spectacular sunset over the Atlantic as the plane turns toward Nantes. Keep your camera ready as you pass over Northern Italy for clear shots of the glacial lakes like Garda or Como if the path is northerly.
