Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an unparalleled view of the Aegadian Islands and the dramatic limestone cliffs of San Vito Lo Capo during the approach into Palermo.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏛️

Ancient Carthage

View the archaeological site of Carthage and the Presidential Palace shortly after takeoff from Tunis.

🏝️

Aegadian Islands

Identify the rugged silhouettes of Marettimo, Favignana, and Levanzo rising from the turquoise sea.

🏖️

San Vito Lo Capo

Admire the white sands and the iconic Monte Monaco peak as the plane begins its final descent.

🌊

Tyrrhenian Coastline

Enjoy a sweeping view of the deep blue waters and the jagged northern Sicilian coast before touchdown.

For the most vivid colors of the Mediterranean, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Aegadian Islands isn't obstructed during the banking turns. Look out for the historic ruins of Carthage almost immediately after takeoff if the plane departs towards the north.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🌅

Cape Bon Peninsula

See the 'thumb' of Tunisia stretching into the sea, featuring the town of Kelibia and its fortress.

🌋

Pantelleria Island

Midway through the flight, look for this volcanic island, known for its dark rocks and mirror-like lake.

🍇

Marsala Coastline

Spot the salt pans and sprawling vineyards of the westernmost tip of Sicily.

🏘️

Gulf of Castellammare

View the charming seaside towns nestled along the wide bay as the aircraft aligns with the runway.

The right side is excellent for spotting Pantelleria, which often appears as a dark gem in the middle of the channel. In the late afternoon, the golden hour light reflects beautifully off the Sicilian salt pans. Keep a lookout for the Kelibia fortress on the Tunisian coast shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
