KIT → ZTH
Which side of the plane to sit from Kithira Airport (Kithira) to Zakynthos International Airport "Dionysios Solomos (Zakynthos)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a magnificent coastal tour of the western Peloponnese, featuring historic fortresses, deep bays, and the rugged mountain ranges of mainland Greece.
Mani Peninsula
The rugged, mountainous middle finger of the Peloponnese with steep cliffs dropping into the sea.
Methoni Fortress
An impressive Venetian sea castle situated on the southwestern tip of the mainland.
Navarino Bay
The large natural harbor near Pylos, famous for its historic naval battles and the Gialova Lagoon.
Kyparissia Gulf
A massive, sweeping coastline known for its long sandy beaches and sea turtle nesting sites.
Zakynthos Town
The island's capital and bustling port area visible during the final descent into ZTH.
The right side is significantly more scenic. Sit here for views of the Peloponnese coastline. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the mainland mountains and castles. As the plane descends into Zakynthos, look for the 'Bochali' hill and the Venetian castle overlooking the main town.
Ionian Deep
Vast expanses of the deep blue Ionian Sea stretching toward Italy.
Strofades Islets
Two small, remote islands located far off the Peloponnese coast, home to a historic monastery.
Western Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the horizon, spectacular during late afternoon or sunset flights.
Choose the left side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Ionian Sea. Keep an eye out for the tiny Strofades islands roughly halfway through the flight, as they are the only landmass visible on this side until the final approach to Zakynthos.
