Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the Taurus Mountain range and the crossing of the Euphrates River before descending into Gaziantep.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Taurus Mountains

Spectacular views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Toros range stretching toward the Mediterranean.

💎

Lakes District

The deep blue waters of Lake Eğirdir and Lake Beyşehir nestled among the mountain ridges.

🌊

Euphrates River

The winding path of one of the world's most historic rivers visible near the end of the journey.

🌿

Çukurova Plain

The transition into the fertile green valleys of the Mediterranean hinterland south of the flight path.

🏗️

Birecik Dam

A massive engineering feat visible on the Euphrates as you begin your final approach into Gaziantep.

The right side is superior for mountain scenery. Morning flights provide the best lighting on the Taurus peaks without glare. Look for the distinct turquoise blue of the mountain lakes approximately 30 minutes after takeoff from Izmir.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Izmir Urban Sprawl

View of the dense urban fabric and the Gulf of Izmir during the initial climb out of ADB.

🏰

Afyonkarahisar Rock

The massive volcanic rock fortress visible as you fly over the western Anatolian landscape.

🧂

Lake Tuz

Distant views of the shimmering white salt flats of Turkey's second-largest lake to the north.

🚜

Central Anatolian Plateau

The vast, high-altitude plains characterized by interesting patchwork agricultural patterns.

Choose the left side for evening flights to enjoy the sunset over the Aegean during departure. Keep an eye out for the bright white expanse of Lake Tuz appearing as a horizon-line shimmer about 40 minutes into the flight.
