Stunning views of the rugged eastern mountainous coastlines of these two massive Mediterranean islands.
Tuscan Archipelago
Look down to see the islands of Elba and Giglio floating in the crystal clear Tyrrhenian waters.
Aeolian Islands
Spot the volcanic peaks of Stromboli, Vulcano, and Lipari emerging from the sea.
Mount Etna
The primary highlight; get a massive, close-range view of Europe's most active volcano and its smoking craters.
Malta & Gozo
Detailed views of the blue lagoon at Comino and the historic citadel of Mdina during the descent.
The right side is essential for volcanic enthusiasts. Ensure your camera is ready about 60-70 minutes into the flight for the Aeolian chain and Etna. On the approach to Malta, this side typically offers a sweeping view of the sister islands, Gozo and Comino, before landing.
