Lake Trasimeno
Italy's fourth largest lake visible shortly after departure near the Umbria-Tuscany border.
Tuscan Archipelago
Spot the distant outlines of islands like Giglio and Montecristo floating in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Deep Tyrrhenian
Expansive views of the azure Mediterranean waters with white wake trails from passing ferries.
Mount Erice
The dramatic cliffside town of Erice overlooking the city of Trapani during the final approach.
Aegadian Islands
Unmatched views of Favignana, Levanzo, and Marettimo islands surrounded by turquoise waters.
Trapani Salt Pans
The historic 'Saline di Trapani' with their checkerboard patterns and windmills just before touchdown.
The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for the approach. Try to book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the vibrant turquoise waters of the Aegadian Islands. During the summer months, the salt pans often display a distinct pinkish hue which is best captured from this side.

Umbrian Valley
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy the lush, rolling green hills of the 'Green Heart of Italy'.
Rome Metropolitan Area
A distant view of the sprawling Eternal City and the Tiber River snaking toward the sea.
Circeo Promontory
The striking limestone peak of Mount Circeo jutting into the Tyrrhenian Sea on the Lazio coast.
Vesuvius Silhouette
On very clear days, the distant profile of Mount Vesuvius and the Gulf of Naples may be visible to the southeast.
Coastal Watchtowers
Ancient Saracen towers dotting the Sicilian coastline as you approach the island from the north.
Choose the left side if you enjoy tracking the Italian coastline. For the best lighting, a late afternoon flight provides a warm glow over the Apennines and the Lazio coast, though you may face some glare depending on the exact angle of the sun.
