Aspromonte Massif
Rugged, wild mountain terrain immediately visible upon departure from Reggio Calabria.
Mount Vesuvius
A highlight of the route; the massive crater of the volcano is clearly visible near Naples.
Rome and the Tiber
Spot the sprawling metropolitan area of the capital and the winding Tiber river.
Tuscan Countryside
The signature rolling hills, vineyards, and medieval towns of central Italy.
Apennine Mountains
The 'spine' of Italy, offering dramatic ridges and deep valleys throughout the journey.
Po Valley
The vast, fertile flatlands of Lombardy as the aircraft begins its final descent into Milan.
The right side is the 'landmark side.' Approximately 30-40 minutes into the flight, watch for the distinctive shape of Vesuvius. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side as the sun illuminates the mainland and the Apennine peaks. During winter, the snow-capped mountains provide excellent contrast for photography.

Iconic islands guarding the Gulf of Naples, offering stunning turquoise water views.
Tyrrhenian Coastline

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after departure for the best chance to see the volcanic plumes of Stromboli. In the summer, the sunset over the sea is spectacular from this side.
