Poetto Beach
Cagliari's famous long urban beach and the 'Devil's Saddle' limestone headland.
Elba Island
The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, easily identifiable by its mountainous profile.
Capraia and Gorgona
Small, volcanic islands that appear as dark gems in the deep blue Ligurian Sea.
Port of Genoa
One of the most active harbors in Europe, featuring massive cruise ships and container terminals.
Genoa Old Town
A dense labyrinth of medieval streets and the iconic Lanterna lighthouse during the final seconds of flight.
This is the premier side for this route. For the best photography, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the Italian coastline and islands. As the plane descends into Genoa, the airport's runway extends into the sea; keep your camera ready for the transition from the blue water to the bustling industrial harbor and the colorful city hills.

Stagno di Cagliari
The expansive salt pans and wetlands of Molentargius, often appearing in shades of pink and blue.
Corsican Highlands
A silhouette of the rugged, snow-capped peaks of central Corsica visible across the sea.
Cap Corse
The dramatic northern finger of Corsica, featuring steep cliffs and secluded Mediterranean coves.
Riviera di Ponente
The coastline stretching west toward Savona, visible during the final banking maneuvers into Genoa.
Sit here during afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is the better choice for viewing the untamed, mountainous interior of Corsica from a distance. During takeoff, look down quickly to see the flamingos in the wetlands surrounding Cagliari Elmas.
