Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Azov coastline and the picturesque Mius estuary during the final descent into Taganrog, coupled with better sunset perspectives on evening flights.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛪

Tula Region

The historic landscape of the Russian south-west, dotted with old church spires and rolling hills.

⛰️

Central Russian Upland

Scenic terrain features characterized by gentle ravines and plateau-like elevations.

🌊

Gulf of Taganrog

The shallow, turquoise-tinted waters of the northeastern Sea of Azov appearing on final approach.

🛶

Mius Estuary

A dramatic wetland area where the Mius River flows into the sea, creating unique geological patterns.

⚓

Taganrog Sea Port

Clear views of the historic port, piers, and the coastal architecture of Peter the Great's first naval base.

The right side is unbeatable for the approach into TGK. Choose this side for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Azov Sea. During winter, look for the unique ice patterns forming on the shallow gulf waters. Clear days provide a perfect view of the Taganrog coastline's distinct 'cape' shape.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌲

Oka River Basin

Dense pine forests and the winding silver ribbon of the Oka River shortly after takeoff from Domodedovo.

🏙️

Voronezh Reservoir

A massive man-made sea bisecting the city of Voronezh, offering a striking urban-water contrast.

🌾

Don River Steppes

Vast agricultural mosaics of the southern Russian heartland, changing colors from green to gold by season.

🚢

Rostov-on-Don Skyline

A distant but clear view of the 'Gateway to the Caucasus' and its bustling industrial river port.

💧

Don River Delta

The intricate network of channels and wetlands where the Don River meets the Sea of Azov.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. This side is ideal for spotting the urban sprawl of Rostov-on-Don and the massive grain elevators near the river ports. Keep an eye out for the Don-Volga canal connections south of Voronezh.
