Afyonkarahisar Fortress
Look for the massive volcanic rock plug rising 226 meters from the city center, topped by an ancient citadel.
Lake Eber
A shallow, reed-filled lake known for its biodiversity, situated between the Aegean and Central Anatolia.
Mount Hasan
A stunning, snow-capped dormant stratovolcano that dominates the landscape near Aksaray.
Cappadocia Valleys
During the descent, view the surreal 'lunar' landscapes, fairy chimneys, and tuff formations near Nevşehir.
Mount Erciyes
The massive, 3,917m tall volcano serves as the ultimate landmark for the final approach into Kayseri.
The right side is premier for volcanic sightings. For the best photography of Cappadocia and Mount Erciyes, book a morning flight when the sun is behind the aircraft. Sit slightly behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the dramatic descent into the Kayseri valley.

Mount Spil
Shortly after departure from Izmir, witness the rugged limestone cliffs and forests of Spil Dağı National Park.
Uşak Cityscape
View the transition from the Aegean hills to the high Anatolian plateau over this historic industrial hub.
Lake Akşehir
A significant endorheic lake located at the northern foot of the Sultan Mountains, appearing as a blue oasis.
Tuz Gölü
On clear days, the massive white expanse of Turkey's second-largest lake, the Salt Lake, is visible on the northern horizon.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. Keep your eyes peeled for the glimmering white salt flats of Tuz Gölü roughly midway through the flight. If the plane approaches Kayseri from the north, you might get a unique wide-angle view of the entire city against the backdrop of Erciyes.
