TLV → NAP
Which side of the plane to sit from Ben Gurion International Airport (Tel-aviv) to Naples International Airport (Naples)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views of the journey, including the rugged southern coast of Crete and a spectacular vantage point of Mount Vesuvius during the final approach into Naples.

Mediterranean Expanse
Vast, deep-blue views of the Levantine Basin shortly after leaving the Israeli coastline.
Southern Crete
Dramatic views of the White Mountains (Lefka Ori) and rugged cliffs of Crete's southern shore.
Peloponnese Fingers
The mountainous peninsulas of southern Greece stretching into the Ionian Sea.
Mount Vesuvius
A premier view of the legendary volcano that looms over the Bay of Naples during the descent.
Capri and Sorrento
Aerial glimpses of the glamorous island of Capri and the sheer cliffs of the Sorrento Peninsula.
To maximize the experience, choose a flight arriving in the late afternoon; the setting sun will illuminate Mount Vesuvius and the Amalfi Coast with a golden glow. The left side is consistently better for the standard landing patterns into NAP, which often bank around the volcano. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the best coastal shots.

Tel Aviv Shoreline
A sweeping view of the Tel Aviv-Yafo urban skyline and beaches immediately after takeoff.
Cyclades Archipelagos
Distances views of the scattered white-and-blue islands of the Aegean Sea to the north.
Apennine Mountains
The rugged interior mountain range of Italy as the flight crosses from the Adriatic toward the Tyrrhenian.
Central Naples
A dense, colorful view of the historic city center and the bustling port area during the final seconds of flight.
The right side is ideal for passengers who enjoy urban geography, offering the best view of the Tel Aviv coastline at departure and the dense urban grid of Naples upon arrival. If the flight path takes a more northerly route, you might catch a distant glimpse of the island of Rhodes or the Turkish coast. It is generally the 'cooler' side during afternoon flights as it faces away from the direct southern sun.
