Which side of the plane to sit from Karpathos Airport (Karpathos) to Kasos Airport (Kasos)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides an exceptional view of the uninhabited islet of Armathia with its turquoise lagoons and the main town of Fry during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏘️

Arkasa Village

A historic seaside village on Karpathos seen shortly after departing from the runway.

🏝️

Armathia Islet

A stunning uninhabited island featuring Marmara beach, famous for its white sand and tropical-colored water.

⚓

Fry Harbor

The picturesque main port and capital of Kasos, seen clearly as the plane aligns for landing.

💨

Traditional Windmills

Iconic Dodecanese windmills scattered across the northern ridges of Kasos.

The right side is the 'scenic' choice for this short hop. The highlight is the islet of Armathia; look for the distinct white sand contrast against the blue water mid-flight. Due to the extremely low cruising altitude, you will have a perfect view of the fishing boats in Fry harbor just seconds before touchdown.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Kasos Strait

The deep blue waters of the narrow channel separating the two islands.

⛰️

Cape Kastellos

The rocky, dramatic southernmost tip of Karpathos visible right after takeoff.

🏖️

Southern Kasos Cliffs

Rugged, limestone cliffs and inaccessible sea caves along the south coast of Kasos.

Sit on the left for unobstructed views of the open sea and the southern limestone formations. Early morning flights offer soft light that highlights the texture of the Karpathos coastline. Since the flight lasts barely 10-15 minutes, keep your window shade up from the moment you board.
