Aegean Coastline
Sweeping views of the Izmir Gulf and the jagged coastline as the plane turns east.
Pamukkale Terraces
The unique white calcium carbonate terraces and the ancient city of Hierapolis.
Lake District
Stunning views of the deep blue waters of Lake Eğirdir and Lake Beyşehir.
Amanos Mountains
Densely forested ridges that mark the final approach into the Hatay region.
Gulf of Iskenderun
The sparkling Mediterranean waters and the industrial ports of the eastern coast.
For the best experience, book a morning flight on the right side to keep the sun behind you, providing perfect lighting for photos of Pamukkale and the lakes. During the final descent into Hatay Airport, look out for the dramatic transition from the Mediterranean Sea to the fertile Amik Valley.

Mount Spil
Dramatic mountain views just north of Izmir shortly after takeoff.
Taurus Northern Slopes
The rugged, often snow-capped northern face of the Central Taurus range.
Konya Basin
Vast agricultural expanses and the high Anatolian steppe landscape.
Adana Urban Area
A clear view of the Seyhan River and the dense urban sprawl of Turkey's sixth-largest city.
The left side is particularly rewarding during late afternoon flights, as the setting sun illuminates the Anatolian plateau with golden hues. Keep an eye out for the Seyhan Dam reservoir near Adana, which appears as a massive blue expanse shortly before the descent begins.
