Search flights from EBL to AYT
Taurus Mountains
Continuous views of the jagged, often snow-capped peaks of the Toroslar range.
Atatürk Dam Reservoir
A massive, bright blue man-made lake on the Euphrates River, one of the largest in the world.
Anatolian Plateau
The high altitude landscape of central Turkey featuring unique geological formations.
Köprülü Canyon Area
Dense forest reserves and deep river canyons visible just before reaching the Antalya basin.
The right side is ideal for mountain photography. The Atatürk Dam is a major landmark to watch for approximately 30-40 minutes into the flight. Morning flights offer the best lighting on the mountain peaks without the harsh afternoon sun glare found on the opposite side.

Upper Mesopotamia
Aerial views of the ancient fertile plains stretching south toward the Syrian border.
Gulf of İskenderun
The northeast corner of the Mediterranean Sea where the Amanos Mountains meet the water.
Adana Cityscape
A clear view of one of Turkey's largest cities and the vast, fertile Cilician Plain.
The Turquoise Coast
Glittering views of the Alanya and Side coastlines during the final descent phase.
Choose the left side for coastal views. For afternoon flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side of the aircraft, which may cause glare and heat. This side is better for spotting the transition from the Mesopotamian plains to the Mediterranean sea.
