Pantelleria Northern Coast
View the volcanic jagged edges of Pantelleria and the turquoise Specchio di Venere lake shortly after takeoff.
Marettimo Island
The most remote of the Egadi Islands, featuring high dolomite cliffs and sea caves rising sharply from the Mediterranean.
Favignana & Levanzo
The butterfly-shaped island of Favignana and the smaller Levanzo are visible with their distinctive white limestone quarries.
Egadi Marine Reserve
Vibrant shades of blue and emerald green water in the largest marine protected area in the Mediterranean.
