Ustica Island
A small volcanic island rising from the Tyrrhenian Sea shortly after departing Palermo.
Aeolian Archipelago
Unrivaled views of Lipari, Vulcano, and the perfectly symmetrical smoking cone of Stromboli.
Tyrrhenian Coastline
The rugged cliffs and turquoise waters of the Calabrian and Basilicata coasts as the plane turns inland.
Pollino National Park
The massive limestone massifs and deep gorges of the southern Apennines.
Bari Waterfront
A clear view of the Lungomare and the historic center of Bari during the final descent over the Adriatic.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. The Aeolian Islands appear approximately 15-20 minutes into the flight; keep your camera ready for the volcanic plumes of Stromboli. During winter, the peaks of Pollino are often snow-capped, providing a stark contrast to the blue sea.

Madonie Mountains
The high limestone peaks of northern Sicily visible immediately after takeoff.
Mount Etna
Europe's most active volcano is frequently visible on the horizon to the southeast.
Strait of Messina
The narrow gap separating Sicily from Calabria, visible on clear days.
Apulian Tavoliere
The vast, flat agricultural plains of Puglia characterized by a patchwork of olive groves.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Sicilian interior. While Etna is a major draw, it is often distant, so bring a zoom lens. Keep an eye out for the distinct circular stone structures (Trulli) visible in the countryside as you approach Bari.
