Which side of the plane to sit from Stockholm-Arlanda Airport (Stockholm) to Kalamata Airport (Kalamata)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Stockholm Archipelago at departure, the rugged peaks of the High Tatras in Central Europe, and the iconic coastline of the Greek mainland upon arrival.
Stockholm Archipelago
Aerial views of the 30,000 islands and islets dotting the Baltic Sea immediately after takeoff from Arlanda.
High Tatra Mountains
The snow-capped granite peaks of the highest range in the Carpathian Mountains along the Polish-Slovak border.
Budapest Panorama
A sweeping view of the Danube River dividing the historic districts of Buda and Pest if the flight path tracks slightly east.
Mount Olympus
The legendary home of the Greek gods, standing as the highest peak in Greece near the Aegean coast.
Gulf of Corinth
The deep blue inlet separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece, visible during the initial descent.
Choose the left side for morning departures to have the sun behind you while viewing the Swedish coast. Keep your camera ready about 90 minutes into the flight for the Tatras, and watch for the dramatic change in terrain as you cross the Greek border. In autumn, the contrast between the northern forests and the Mediterranean scrub is particularly vivid.
Swedish Heartland
Dense pine forests and the reflective waters of Lake Vรคttern as the plane heads south over the Scandinavian Peninsula.
Gdaลsk Bay
The industrial docks of Poland and the unique, narrow Hel Peninsula stretching into the Baltic Sea.
Lake Balaton
Central Europe's largest freshwater lake, easily recognizable by its elongated shape and distinct turquoise hue.
Peloponnese Mountains
The rugged, mountainous backbone of southern Greece as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach into Kalamata.
Messinian Gulf
The sparkling waters and coastal olive groves of the Messinia region during the final seconds before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. You will get a better view of the varied Serbian and Macedonian landscapes. During the descent into KLX, this side provides an excellent perspective of the Taygetos mountain range that looms over the city of Kalamata.
