Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior sequence of landmarks, including the Pindus Mountains, the iconic Mount Vesuvius over the Bay of Naples, the rugged southern cliffs of Corsica, and a dramatic descent toward the Pyrenees foothills.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🏔️

Pindus Range

Dramatic snow-capped peaks and deep gorges in northwestern Greece during the first 20 minutes.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

A spectacular view of the famous volcano and the sprawling Bay of Naples as you cross the Italian coast.

🏝️

Corsica & Bonifacio

Stunning views of the white limestone cliffs of Bonifacio and the jagged interior mountains of Corsica.

🏔️

Pyrenees Approach

As the plane descends toward Girona, the eastern end of the Pyrenees provides a majestic backdrop.

🌅

Gulf of Lion

The sweeping curve of the French and Spanish coastline as the aircraft turns toward Gerona.

This is the premier side for landmark spotting. Expect the Vesuvius flyover approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight. Afternoon flights are ideal for the best lighting on the cliffs of Corsica and the Catalan mountains. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing for the best view of the Bay of Naples.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
⛰️

Mount Olympus

The mythical home of the Greek gods is visible shortly after takeoff from Thessaloniki to the southwest.

🏝️

Ionian Archipelago

Views of Corfu and the surrounding turquoise waters as the flight leaves the Greek mainland.

🇮🇹

The Salento Peninsula

Clear views of the 'heel' of Italy, including the coastal cities of Brindisi and Lecce.

🌊

Mediterranean Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Tyrrhenian and Balearic seas throughout the mid-flight.

Choose this side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It provides a better perspective of the Greek coastline and the southern tip of Italy. Keep an eye out for the Aeolian Islands in the far distance if the flight path tracks southward.
