GOA → NAP
Which side of the plane to sit from Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (Genoa) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular maritime journey along the Tyrrhenian coast, featuring the Tuscan Archipelago and a breathtaking entrance into the Bay of Naples with views of Ischia and Procida.
Isola d'Elba
The largest island of the Tuscan Archipelago, recognizable by its turquoise bays and rugged mountainous interior.
Argentario Peninsula
A unique rocky headland connected to the mainland by three distinct narrow strips of land and coastal lagoons.
Pontine Islands
The jagged volcanic cliffs of Ponza and Palmarola rising sharply from the deep blue Tyrrhenian Sea.
Gulf of Naples
A panoramic entry into the bay with stunning views of the islands of Ischia and Procida.
Phlegraean Fields
Look down at the ancient volcanic calderas and the coastal town of Pozzuoli just before touching down.
This side is superior for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while photographing the coast. For the best experience, sit behind the wing to capture the contrast between the deep blue sea and the colorful coastal towns of the Phlegraean area during landing.
Northern Apennines
The rugged mountainous spine of Italy offering dramatic peaks and deep valleys shortly after takeoff from Genoa.
Tuscan Interior
Vast visual patterns of vineyards and olive groves stretching across the legendary rolling hills of central Italy.
Ancient Hill Towns
Spot medieval gems like Orvieto and Viterbo nestled among the Lazio hills as you head south toward Campania.
Mount Vesuvius
A powerful view of the legendary volcano's crater as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach into Naples.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to watch the sun set behind the coast, casting long shadows over the mountains. Keep your eyes peeled during the final descent, as Vesuvius will appear prominently on this side just before landing.
