Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most dramatic scenery, featuring the volcanic islands of the Tyrrhenian Sea and a prime view of Mount Vesuvius during the descent into Naples.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🇹🇳

Cap Bon Peninsula

The northeastern tip of Tunisia, offering a clear view of the El Haouaria cliffs and lighthouse.

🏝️

Aegadian Islands

Spot the islands of Marettimo and Favignana off the western coast of Sicily as you cross the sea.

🌋

Aeolian Islands

Visible in the distance, you may see the perfect cone of Stromboli or the smoldering crater of Vulcano.

🌋

Mount Vesuvius

The absolute highlight; the plane typically flies past this massive volcano, offering a look into its wide crater.

🏖️

Sorrento and Amalfi Coast

As the plane turns for its final approach, you can see the jagged limestone cliffs and towns of the Sorrento Peninsula.

The right side is essential for the Vesuvius fly-by. For the best photography, a morning flight ensures the sun illuminates the volcano's crater. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing. Note that if the wind dictates a northern approach, this side also sees the coastal ruins of Pompeii from a distance.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Gulf of Tunis

Panoramic views of the Tunisian capital's coastline and the deep blue Mediterranean immediately after takeoff.

🏝️

Zembra and Zembretta

Look down at these protected islands known for their rugged cliffs and biodiversity just off the Tunisian coast.

🏝️

Procida and Ischia

On the final approach, catch a glimpse of these colorful volcanic islands guarding the western entrance to the Bay of Naples.

🏙️

Naples Cityscape

A detailed view of the dense historical center and the port area as the aircraft aligns with the runway.

Choose the left side for better lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is superior for viewing the smaller islands of the Phlegraean archipelago during the descent. Watch for the historical architecture of Naples' 'Centro Storico' just before touchdown.
