Which side of the plane to sit from Kaunas International Airport (Kaunas) to Kos Airport (Kos)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic High Tatra mountains and the dense archipelago of the Cyclades during the descent into Kos.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

High Tatra Mountains

The jagged, snow-capped peaks on the border of Poland and Slovakia are a major mid-flight highlight.

💧

The Danube River

The massive waterway snaking through the Hungarian plains and near the city of Budapest.

⛰️

Balkan Peaks

Rugged limestone mountains and deep valleys of Serbia and North Macedonia.

🏝️

The Cyclades

A stunning mosaic of blue Aegean waters and white-washed islands like Naxos and Amorgos during descent.

✈️

Kos North Coast

Low-altitude views of the turquoise waters and beaches of Mastichari during the final turn.

Sit on the right for the most dramatic mountain scenery roughly 45 minutes into the flight. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the Greek islands perfectly.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🌳

Nemunas Loops

The winding curves of Lithuania's longest river visible shortly after takeoff from Kaunas.

🏔️

Eastern Carpathians

The sprawling, forested mountain ranges of Western Ukraine and Romania visible in the distance.

🏙️

Sofia & Vitosha

The Bulgarian capital nestled against the massive Vitosha mountain dome if the path tracks east.

🏖️

Bodrum Peninsula

Clear views of the Turkish coastline and luxury resorts just across the water from Kos.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Baltic regions. It provides a great view of the Turkish mainland during the final approach pattern into Kos Airport.
