Which side of the plane to sit from Adana Airport (Adana) to Adnan Menderes International Airport (Izmir)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Taurus Mountain range and the scenic transition from the Çukurova plain toward the Aegean coast.
Central Taurus Range
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep canyons visible shortly after departing from Adana.
Mediterranean Glimpses
A distant view of the deep blue Mediterranean horizon over the Mersin coastline.
Lake Beyşehir
Turkey's largest freshwater lake, featuring beautiful islands and a mountainous backdrop.
Mount Honaz
The highest peak in the Aegean region, serving as a landmark during the descent.
Büyük Menderes Valley
Lush, winding river valleys leading the way toward the Aegean Sea.
Book a window seat on the left for sunset flights to experience the 'Golden Hour' over the Taurus Mountains. In winter, the snow-covered peaks are exceptionally photogenic. This side also avoids the harsh southern sun glare during midday flights heading west.
Anatolian Plateau
The vast, golden geometric patterns of the Konya basin and agricultural heartlands.
Lake Eğirdir
A stunning turquoise-hued lake nestled between rugged hills in the Lakes District.
Kula Volcanics
The dark, cone-shaped hills of Turkey's youngest volcanic area near Manisa.
Gediz Valley
Expansive vineyards and fertile plains that define the inner Aegean landscape.
Manisa & Mount Sipylus
A clear view of Manisa city and the mythical 'Weeping Rock' mountain during final approach.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting over the Central Anatolian plains. Watch for the distinct color changes of the inland lakes, which vary by season. This side typically provides the best view of Manisa city as the plane maneuvers for landing at ADB.
