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

The right side offers a spectacular view of the rugged eastern tip of Crete, including the dramatic Cape Sidero, and follows the southern coastline of Kasos upon approach.
Search flights from JSH to KSJ
Sitia Mountains
The rugged, arid terrain of the Thripti mountain range and the unique geology of Eastern Crete.
Cape Sidero
The spectacular, narrow finger of land that marks the northeasternmost point of the island of Crete.
Elasa Island
A small, protected island known for its importance to the Mediterranean monk seal, visible just off the Cretan coast.
Kasos Southern Cliffs
The dramatic, steep limestone cliffs of Kasos as the aircraft maneuvers for its final approach to KSJ.
The right side is superior for seeing the dramatic 'end' of Crete at Cape Sidero. Early morning flights offer the best lighting for the limestone cliffs. As this is a very short flight (often under 20 minutes), ensure you are seated and ready for photography immediately after the seatbelt sign turns off.

Sitia Town and Bay
A beautiful panoramic view of Sitia's harbor and white-washed houses immediately after takeoff.
Dionysades Islands
The uninhabited rocky islets of Dragonada and Gianysada visible in the deep blue Sea of Crete.
Sea of Crete Expanse
Vast turquoise waters where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean, often showing distinct current patterns.
Fri Village
The main port and capital of Kasos visible just before touchdown on the northern edge of the island.
Sit on the left for a clear view of the Dionysades islands shortly after departure. This side is better for midday flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare reflecting off the sea. Keep your camera ready as soon as the plane levels off from its initial climb.
