Search flights from ADB to VAS
Bozdağlar Range
Steep ridges and deep valleys of the mountain chain separating the Gediz and Menderes basins.
Tuz Gölü (Salt Lake)
The massive, bright white salt flats of Turkey's second-largest lake, particularly brilliant in summer.
Mount Erciyes
The majestic, often snow-capped volcanic peak rising to 3,917 meters near Kayseri.
Anatolian Steppe
The iconic rolling golden hills and vast open landscapes of the Turkish heartland.
Sivas Canyons
The rugged, high-altitude terrain and deep valleys surrounding Sivas during the final descent.
The right side is essential for seeing Tuz Gölü and Mount Erciyes. In summer, the lake's white crust is highly reflective, so polarized sunglasses are recommended. On afternoon flights, be prepared for significant glare as the sun moves to the south/southwest; morning flights offer the clearest, most front-lit views of the landmarks.
Book Hotels in Sivas
Izmir Urban Vista
Aerial views of Izmir's sprawling suburbs and the Spil Mountain National Park during the initial climb.
Gediz Basin
Rich agricultural plains and river systems characterizing the fertile Inner Aegean region.
Kütahya Highlands
Rugged mountainous terrain and high plateaus as the flight transitions into Central Anatolia.
Kızılırmak Loops
Dramatic meanders of the Kızılırmak, Turkey's longest river, visible during the mid-flight phase.
Choose the left side for better views of the Aegean mountain ranges and the winding path of the Kızılırmak River. Morning flights on this side avoid the direct southern sun, providing softer light for photography of the northern Anatolian landscape.
