KZS → RHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Kastelorizo Airport (Kastelorizo) to Diagoras Airport (Rhodos)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a continuous panorama of the stunning Lycian Coast of Turkey and a superior perspective of Rhodes' medieval capital upon landing.
Kaş and Kalkan
See the vibrant Turkish towns and their intricate coastlines as the flight path skims the maritime border.
Patara Beach
Identify the 18-kilometer long sandy beach and the adjacent archaeological site of the ancient Lycian capital.
Mount Babadağ
Look for the towering peaks near Fethiye, famous for paragliding, visible as the aircraft crosses toward Rhodes.
Rhodes Old Town
On final approach, enjoy a spectacular view of the medieval city, the Palace of the Grand Master, and the Mandraki harbor.
The right side is essential for this short hop. The proximity to the Turkish coast offers constant geographic interest. Aim for a window seat in front of or well behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Rhodes Town during the descent.
Kastelorizo Port
View the iconic horseshoe-shaped harbor of Megisti and its colorful houses immediately after takeoff.
Ro and Strongyli
Spot these small but strategically significant Greek islets that sit at the southeasternmost point of the country.
Open Mediterranean
Vast stretches of deep azure waters with occasional sightings of cargo ships navigating the eastern trade routes.
Sit here if you prefer a glare-free view of the horizon during afternoon flights. While the views are less frequent than the right side, the departure over Kastelorizo's rugged interior and the 'Lady of Ro' island is very scenic.
