Which side of the plane to sit from Kos Airport (Kos) to Kalymnos Airport (Kalymnos)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Aegean islets and the vibrant capital of Kalymnos, Pothia, as the aircraft aligns for its descent.
Aliki Salt Lake
A protected wetland on Kos visible shortly after departure, often home to seasonal birdlife.
Pserimos Island
A close-up view of the tiny, car-free island including its main harbor and white-washed buildings.
Plati Islet
Look for the incredibly clear, shallow turquoise waters where yachts often anchor in the 'Blue Lagoon'.
Pothia Harbor
The densely packed, colorful houses of Kalymnos' main port city appearing like an amphitheater.
The right side is ideal for seeing the diverse island geography of the Dodecanese. Since the flight is extremely short (often under 20 minutes), keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. Late afternoon flights provide a warm glow over the Pothia harbor.
Mastichari Coastline
The northern shores of Kos featuring sandy beaches and turquoise waters right after takeoff.
Kalymnos Limestone Cliffs
Dramatic, jagged rock formations that have made the island a global destination for rock climbers.
Telendos View
The silhouette of the nearby island Telendos visible across the water during the final approach.
Sit on the left if you want to see the rugged, uninhibited western terrain of Kalymnos. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography without sun glare on the window.
