STR β RHO
Which side of the plane to sit from Stuttgart Airport (Stuttgart) to Diagoras Airport (Rhodos)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the spectacular Adriatic coastline, the Dalmatian islands, and a more direct view of the iconic Cyclades island chain during the descent.
Dolomites & High Alps
Breathtaking views of the jagged Italian peaks and Austrian glaciers during the first hour.
Dalmatian Coast
The stunning turquoise waters and thousands of islands along the Croatian shoreline.
The Cyclades
Look for the distinctive volcanic caldera of Santorini and the white-washed towns of Milos.
Rhodes Medieval City
During a Runway 25 approach, you get a clear view of the UNESCO-listed Old Town and harbor.
Gulf of Corinth
The narrow strip of water separating the Peloponnese from mainland Greece.
This side is the clear winner for coastal scenery. For the best experience, choose a window seat behind the wing to see the islands clearly. In the late afternoon, this side offers incredible sunset views over the Aegean Sea as you descend into Rhodos.
Eastern Alps
Aerial views of the Austrian Alps and the dramatic Zugspitze massif shortly after departure.
Thessaloniki
The sprawling urban landscape and the Thermaic Gulf are often visible mid-flight.
Northern Aegean Islands
Glimpses of Thassos and the Sporades archipelago as you cross the Aegean Sea.
Turkish Riviera
On final approach, the rugged peninsulas of DatΓ§a and Marmaris appear across the strait.
Sit here if you prefer views of the mainland and the Turkish coast on arrival. Morning flights are ideal for this side to avoid direct sun glare, though the view of the Rhodes' northern tip is excellent during the landing sequence.
