RHO โ KZS
Which side of the plane to sit from Diagoras Airport (Rhodos) to Kastelorizo Airport (Kastelorizo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of the rugged Lycian coastline of Turkey, featuring turquoise bays, ancient coastal towns, and the dramatic backdrop of the Taurus Mountains.
Rhodes Old Town
Immediate views of the medieval Palace of the Grand Master and the historic Mandraki Harbor upon takeoff.
Gulf of Fethiye
Stunning aerial perspective of the scattered islands and the famous Blue Lagoon (รlรผdeniz) in the distance.
Taurus Mountains
Breathtaking views of the limestone peaks of the Western Taurus range rising sharply from the sea.
Kaล Coastline
Crystal clear views of the Turkish town of Kaล and its narrow peninsula just before the final turn for landing.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Turkish coast without the glare of the southern sun. Since the flight is extremely short and low-altitude, keep your camera ready from the moment of rotation at RHO.
Acropolis of Lindos
A distant view of the ancient citadel and the white-washed village on the eastern coast of Rhodes.
Levantine Sea
Vast, uninterrupted views of the deep blue Mediterranean horizon as you traverse the border between Greece and Turkey.
Ro Island
The small, strategic islet of Ro, famous for its lone inhabitant who flew the Greek flag for decades.
Megisti Port
A beautiful view of the colorful waterfront of Kastelorizo town during the final approach bank.
The right side is best during the late afternoon to avoid the direct northern sun reflecting off the water. While less scenic during the cruise, this side offers a better angle of the destination island's harbor if the pilot performs a clockwise approach pattern. Monitor the weather; clear days allow you to see all the way to Cyprus in the far distance.
