Keffallinia to Amsterdam is 1,238 miles (1,993 km), a flight of about 3 hours 45 minutes.
While the Kefallinia departure offers dramatic island terrain, the Amsterdam approach delivers superior scenic variety and landmark density. The right side captures both the rugged Wadden Islands and the engineered Dutch landscape—a striking contrast—plus the IJsselmeer and extensive canal systems. The full flight duration includes 5+ hours of open North Sea with minimal features, which caps the left side's score. Right seats maximize the two most visually interesting segments: the Greek island departure (shared equally) and the distinctive Dutch delta landing.
