Athens & Attica
A sweeping view of the Greek capital and the historic Saronic Gulf shortly after departure.
Venice and the Adriatic
On clear days, the distinct shape of the Venetian Lagoon and the Po River Delta can be seen to the north.
The Matterhorn
As you enter Swiss airspace, the iconic pyramid-shaped peak stands out among the Pennine Alps.
Lake Geneva
The crescent-shaped Lac Léman unfolds beneath the wing during the final 15 minutes of flight.
Jet d'Eau
On the final approach to GVA, you can often spot Geneva's famous 140-meter tall water fountain in the harbor.
Sit on the right for the most iconic Swiss landmarks. For the best photography of the Alps, mid-day flights provide the best lighting. On the approach into Geneva (usually Runway 22), the right side provides the classic view of the city and the lake.

Cyclades Archipelago
Immediately after takeoff, view the scattered white-washed villages of Mykonos, Syros, and Kythnos set against the deep blue Aegean.
Corinth Canal
A rare aerial perspective of the narrow strip of water separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece.
Ionian Sea Islands
As you leave Greek airspace, look for the turquoise coastlines of Zakynthos and the rugged cliffs of Kefalonia.
Apulian Coastline
The flight crosses the 'heel' of Italy, offering views of Bari and the southern Italian landscape.
Mont Blanc
Just before the descent into Geneva, the highest peak in Europe often dominates the horizon to the south.
The left side is ideal for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Mediterranean. Keep an eye out early in the flight for the Gulf of Corinth. During winter, the snow-capped Peloponnese mountains provide excellent contrast against the sea.
