Search flights from SKG to KLX
Mount Olympus
A spectacular view of the 'Home of the Gods,' featuring Mytikas peak, usually visible 10-15 minutes after takeoff.
Thessaly Plains
The vast agricultural heartland of Greece bordered by the Pindus mountain range to the west.
Gulf of Corinth
The dramatic narrow waterway separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece, visible during the descent phase.
Taygetos Mountains
The imposing limestone peaks that dominate the horizon of Kalamata, appearing very close during the final approach.
Messinian Valley
Endless silver-green olive groves characteristic of the region as the plane prepares for landing at KLX.
The right side is the priority for mountain lovers. Mount Olympus is the star early in the flight. For the landing in Kalamata, the right side provides a stunning view of the Taygetos peaks; morning flights offer the best lighting on these mountains, while late afternoon flights can be backlit.

Chalkidiki Peninsulas
Panoramic views of the 'three legs' of Chalkidiki extending into the Aegean Sea shortly after departure.
Island of Evia
The winding, mountainous coastline of Greece's second-largest island remains visible for much of the mid-flight.
Attica & Saronic Islands
Views of the Athens metropolitan sprawl in the distance and the clusters of islands like Aegina and Poros.
Argolic Gulf
The deep blue waters of the gulf and the historic coastline near Nafplio as you enter the Peloponnese airspace.
Sit on the left if you want to see the sprawling coastline of Evia and the distant lights of Athens during evening flights. To avoid harsh sun glare during the middle of the day, this side is generally more comfortable for viewing the Aegean islands.
