MUC β†’ RHO

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

Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic crossing of the high Alps and an extended view of the stunning Adriatic coastline and the turquoise waters of the Dalmatian islands.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
πŸ”οΈ

Tyrolean Alps

Spectacular, close-up views of the Karwendel and Zillertal mountain ranges shortly after takeoff.

🏝️

Dalmatian Coast

A long, scenic stretch over the Croatian coastline featuring hundreds of islands like Hvar and Korčula.

πŸ›οΈ

Peloponnese

Distant views of the mountainous Greek mainland and the Gulf of Corinth.

🌊

Cyclades Islands

Spot the iconic white-washed islands of the central Aegean, including glimpses of Santorini or Naxos.

πŸ–οΈ

Rhodes West Coast

Close views of the rugged western cliffs and the turquoise waters of Ialyssos beach during the landing pattern.

The right side is unbeatable for the combination of Alpine peaks and the Adriatic Sea. In the afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so window shades may be needed, but the golden hour views over the Greek islands are unparalleled. Look out for the distinct transition from the green Balkans to the arid beauty of the Aegean.

πŸ™οΈ

Balkan Interior

Rugged landscapes of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the dense forests of the Dinaric Alps.

Northern Aegean

The deep blue expanse of the Aegean dotted with the smaller, northern Dodecanese islands.

Turkish Coastline

Striking views of the DatΓ§a and Bozburun peninsulas of Turkey as you approach Rhodes.

🏰

Rhodes Old Town

Aerial view of the medieval city, the Palace of the Grand Master, and Mandraki Harbour during final descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you. This side is particularly rewarding during the final approach into RHO, as it often provides a clear view of the Turkish mainland and the historic northern tip of Rhodes.
