Aegadian Islands

San Vito Lo Capo

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.

Marsala Coastline
Spot the salt pans and sprawling vineyards of the westernmost tip of Sicily.
Gulf of Castellammare
