Which side of the plane to sit from Diagoras Airport (Rhodos) to Kos Airport (Kos)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an incredible view of the dramatic Turkish coastline and the iconic Symi island, often flying very close to the Datça Peninsula's rugged peaks.
Search flights from RHO to KGS
Symi Island
Spot the colorful neoclassical harbor and the steep, dramatic cliffs characteristic of the island.
Datça Peninsula
The long, narrow Turkish mainland finger featuring high mountain ridges and secluded turquoise coves.
Ancient Knidos
The archaeological ruins at the tip of the peninsula where the Aegean and Mediterranean seas converge.
Kos Approach
A low-altitude sweep along the southern coast of Kos before landing near Antimachia.
The right side is superior for observing the close proximity between Greece and Turkey. Golden hour flights are particularly stunning as the limestone cliffs of the Turkish coast reflect warm light. Look out for the ancient circular harbor of Knidos at the peninsula's tip.

Tilos Island
View the rugged, mountainous terrain and remote bays of this quiet Dodecanese gem.
Nisyros Volcano
A spectacular aerial perspective of the massive Stefanos crater in the center of the circular island.
Gyali Island
The striking white pumice quarries that create a snow-like appearance from the air.
Aegean Blue
Deep indigo waters dotted with small, uninhabited islets like Strongyli and Pyrgousa.
Sit on the left for the best view of the Nisyros volcano; the crater is clearly visible if the flight tracks slightly west of the direct path. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography before the afternoon haze sets in.
