Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior mix of historic Italian vistas, the stunning Greek islands of the Aegean, and the most iconic view of the Tel Aviv coastline upon arrival.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏛️

Rome & Eternal City

Aerial views of the Roman outskirts and the Tiber river immediately following takeoff from FCO.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

Distant but clear views of the famous volcano and the Bay of Naples as the flight crosses the Italian peninsula.

⛰️

Peloponnese Peninsula

The rugged mountains and deep bays of southern Greece come into view midway through the flight.

🏺

Cyclades Islands

A breathtaking panorama of the Greek archipelagos like Milos and Santorini scattered across the blue Aegean.

🏙️

Tel Aviv Skyline

During the final approach into TLV, this side provides a perfect view of the Mediterranean coastline and city skyscrapers.

Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Tel Aviv shoreline during the standard approach from the sea. For morning flights, the sun will be on the right side, making the left side better for photography without glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Pontine Islands

View the beautiful volcanic islands of Ponza and Ventotene shortly after departing the Italian coast.

🔥

Mount Etna

On more southerly flight paths, look out for the smoking peak of Sicily's famous volcano to the south.

🌊

Island of Crete

Extensive views of the southern coastline of Crete, the largest of the Greek islands.

🌅

Mediterranean Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the sea horizon, ideal for catching a sunset on late afternoon departures.

Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon to witness a spectacular sunset over the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out for maritime traffic in the busy shipping lanes between Europe and the Suez Canal.
