Which side of the plane to sit from Esenboğa International Airport (Ankara) to Adıyaman Airport (Adiyaman)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the massive Atatürk Dam reservoir and the snow-capped peak of Mount Erciyes during the journey.
Mount Erciyes
The dominant 3,917-meter dormant volcano near Kayseri, often capped with snow year-round.
Atatürk Dam
A breathtaking view of the vast turquoise reservoir created by one of the world's largest dams.
Euphrates River
Aerial views of the ancient river as it winds through deep canyons and fertile basins.
Anti-Taurus Peaks
Sharp limestone ridges and dramatic mountain formations unique to the Eastern Mediterranean region.
The right side is essential for seeing the Atatürk Dam during descent. Book an early flight for the best lighting on Mount Erciyes.
Ankara Suburbs
Expansive views of the capital's northern urban development shortly after takeoff from ESB.
Anatolian Plateau
The characteristic high-altitude steppe landscape and folded hills of central Turkey.
Malatya Valleys
Lush horticultural areas contrasting against the barren rocky mountains of the southeast.
Choose this side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset colors reflecting off the Anatolian landscape without the sun's direct glare.
