LY Flying Around Italian Mainland
I came across what seems to be a rather strange flight path on LY 396 from MAD to TLV that avoids flying over the Italian mainland and instead flies south of Sicily. Map is here. Are there ATC reasons for this?

Looking at this map it looks like they were following relatively expected airways from southern Sardinia to near Malta and then turning east. http://www.eurocontrol.int/sites/def...017-update.pdf
