NAP β†’ GOA

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an uninterrupted view of the stunning Tyrrhenian coastline, the Tuscan Archipelago, and the dramatic approach into Genoa over the Ligurian Sea.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🏝️

Gulf of Naples Islands

Aerial views of Procida and Ischia immediately after departure from Naples.

🌊

Pontine Islands

The volcanic archipelago including Ponza and Ventotene visible in the blue Tyrrhenian waters.

🍷

Tuscan Archipelago

Excellent views of Elba Island and the smaller islands of Giglio and Montecristo.

🏘️

Cinque Terre

The five iconic colorful villages of Monterosso, Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore perched on cliffs.

🚀

Portofino Peninsula

The elegant promontory and the crystalline waters of the Paraggi and San Fruttuoso bays.

Choose the left side for spectacular sunset views over the sea during evening flights. On the final approach into Genoa (GOA), which is built on a reclaimed peninsula, you will feel as if you are landing directly on the water. This side provides the best view of the famous 'Lantern' lighthouse of Genoa during the final seconds before touchdown.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
πŸŒ‹

Mount Vesuvius

Depending on the departure path, a glimpse of the massive crater looming over Naples.

πŸ›οΈ

Lazio & Rome

Distant views of the Roman countryside and the winding Tiber River.

🚜

Tuscan Interior

The rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and vineyards of the Maremma region.

πŸ”οΈ

Apuan Alps

The striking white marble quarries of Carrara, which look like snow from a distance.

πŸ—οΈ

Genoa Port

A bird's eye view of the massive industrial and commercial shipping docks of Italy's largest port.

The right side is ideal for morning flights when the sun illuminates the Apennine Mountains and the white marble peaks of Carrara. Keep a close watch as you pass Tuscany; the contrast between the green hills and the white marble quarries is highly photogenic. During the descent, this side offers an intimate view of Genoa’s dense urban layout and its vertical geography.
