Which side of the plane to sit from Kalamata Airport (Kalamata) to Munich Airport (Munich)?

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled vantage point of the rugged Balkan coastline, the stunning island chains of the Adriatic Sea, and a spectacular traverse over the snow-capped Austrian Alps.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
πŸ”οΈ

Pindus Mountain Range

The 'spine of Greece' offers dramatic limestone peaks and deep gorges shortly after takeoff.

πŸ‡¦πŸ‡±

Albanian Riviera

Watch the dramatic contrast where the Ceraunian Mountains meet the turquoise waters of the Ionian.

πŸ‡­πŸ‡·

Dalmatian Archipelago

A spectacular view of Croatia's 1,000+ islands, including Hvar, Brač, and the Kornati National Park.

πŸ”οΈ

Grossglockner & High Tauern

Fly directly over the highest peaks of the Austrian Alps, featuring glaciers and jagged ridgelines.

🏰

Salzburg Region

Views of the Berchtesgaden Alps and the rolling foothills of the northern Alpine rim.

🚜

Bavarian Farmland

The neat, geometric patterns of green fields and small villages typical of the German countryside.

This is the premier side for geography lovers. For the best photography of the Croatian islands and the Alps, book a morning flight when the sun is behind you. Be sure to look out about 45-60 minutes into the flight for the best coastal views, and keep your camera ready 20 minutes before landing for the high Alpine peaks.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Ionian Sea Islands

Distant views of Zakynthos and Kefalonia as the flight climbs away from the Peloponnese.

⛴️

Strait of Otranto

On very clear days, the 'heel' of Italy's boot may be visible across the narrowest part of the Adriatic.

πŸ”οΈ

Zugspitze Massif

Germany's highest peak is often visible in the distance during the descent into Munich.

πŸ’§

Ammersee & Starnberger See

Large, beautiful glacial lakes southwest of Munich visible during the final approach.

🏒

Munich Cityscape

Depending on the landing direction, a chance to see the Allianz Arena and the Olympic Park.

Choose this side for late afternoon or evening flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy soft lighting over the Ionian Sea. It is also the better side for viewing the major Bavarian lakes (Ammersee and Starnberger See) during the descent into Munich if the plane approaches from the south.
