The dramatic coastline where the Alps meet the Mediterranean near Genoa and the Ligurian Sea.
Ionian Islands

Tel Aviv Skyline
The ultimate highlight: a full view of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa beachfront and skyscrapers during the final approach.
The right side is unbeatable for the final 10 minutes of the flight; as the plane turns to line up with Ben Gurion's runways, you typically fly parallel to the coast, offering a perfect view of the city. For late afternoon flights, this side also provides a stunning sunset over the Mediterranean.
