MUC โ KLX
Which side of the plane to sit from Munich Airport (Munich) to Kalamata Airport (Kalamata)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the Alps, the right side provides an unparalleled panorama of the Adriatic coastline and the Ionian islands as you head south toward the Peloponnese.
Bavarian Pre-Alps
Immediate views of the Chiemgau and Tegernsee regions shortly after departure from MUC.
Dalmatian Archipelago
A stunning mosaic of Croatian islands including Hvar, Braฤ, and Korฤula set in turquoise water.
Dubrovnik Coastline
Clear views of the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' and the dramatic cliffs of southern Dalmatia.
Ionian Islands
Aerial perspectives of Corfu, Paxos, and the iconic white cliffs of Lefkada.
Messenian Gulf
The deep blue waters of the gulf as the plane turns for its final approach over the Peloponnesian coast.
Seat on the right (F/K seats) for the best coastal views. This side is especially beautiful in the afternoon as the sun illuminates the white limestone of the Croatian islands and the Greek coast. Watch for the Corinth Canal far to the east if the flight path is slightly inland, though the Ionian coastline remains the primary attraction.
Hohe Tauern National Park
Glaciated peaks of the Austrian Central Alps, including the Grossglockner massif.
Dinaric Alps
The rugged, limestone karst landscapes of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Pindus Mountain Range
The 'spine of Greece' featuring deep gorges and dense forests in the Epirus region.
Taygetos Mountains
The highest mountain range of the Peloponnese, looming over Kalamata on the final descent.
The left side is best for early morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the rugged interior of the Balkans. In winter, the snow-covered peaks of the Pindus range are particularly striking. During the approach to KLX, the left side offers a dramatic view of the sharp ridges surrounding the Messenian valley.
