Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Rhodos to Athens. While takeoff on the left offers Rhodes scenery, the landing approach on the right provides more dramatic and recognizable landmarks—the Hymettus and Penteli ranges are iconic Athens geography and create a striking visual frame for the descent. The right side captures the most geographically significant portion of the flight.

During takeoff from Diagoras (RHO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side offers immediate views of Rhodes' eastern coastline and the Aegean Sea as you climb northwestward. You'll see the island's interior terrain and the transition from land to open water, which is more visually interesting than the right side's view of open sea. Notable sights include: Rhodes coastline (eastern shore), Aegean Sea, interior Rhodes hills, Symi Island (small, visible to the northwest).

When landing at Athens International Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side provides excellent views during the descent approach into Athens. You'll see the Attica region's urban sprawl, the Hymettus and Penteli mountain ranges framing the Athens basin, and the Saronic Gulf coastline—all key landmarks defining the approach corridor. Notable sights include: Hymettus Mountain range (southeast of Athens), Penteli Mountain range (north of Athens), Saronic Gulf, Athens urban area and Attica plains.

The flight from Diagoras (RHO) to Athens International Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) takes Approximately 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.

During cruise, the flight passes over the central Aegean Sea. You'll cross open water with scattered islands visible below—notably Karpathos (if on a slightly southern routing) and various smaller Cycladic islands. The Peloponnese coastline becomes visible as you approach the mainland, with the Argolic Peninsula and Gulf of Argos marking the transition toward Attica.
