Tel Aviv Skyline
Dramatic views of the Tel Aviv beachfront and white city architecture immediately after takeoff.
Cyprus Coastline
Aerial perspective of the Limassol salt lake and the southern Troodos mountain range.
The Cyclades
A stunning mosaic of Greek islands including Rhodes and the Peloponnese peninsula.
Italian Mainland
Views of the 'toe' of Italy or the western coastline depending on the specific air corridor used.
Monaco & Riviera
Unmatched views of the Principality of Monaco, Eze, and Villefranche-sur-Mer during the base leg of the approach.
Maritime Alps
The snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps provide a dramatic backdrop to the Mediterranean coast.
The right side is essential for the famous 'Riviera Approach.' Request a window seat away from the wing to see Monaco. For morning flights, be prepared for some sun glare, but the views of the Greek archipelago and the final descent into Nice make it well worth it.

Levantine Basin
Expansive views of the deep blue Eastern Mediterranean shortly after departing the Israeli coast.
Southern Crete
The mountainous southern coastline of Crete, featuring isolated beaches and steep cliffs dropping into the sea.
Distant Sicily
On clear days, the silhouette of Mount Etna may be visible on the northern horizon across the Ionian Sea.
Lérins Islands
A close-up view of Île Sainte-Marguerite and Île Saint-Honorat just before touching down at NCE.
Sit on the left to avoid the harsh afternoon sun when flying westward. This side provides a more serene, maritime perspective. During the final approach, you will have an excellent view of the Cap d'Antibes and the yachts anchored in the bay.
