Mount Erciyes
A spectacular dormant stratovolcano rising to 3,917 meters, often visible with a snow-capped peak.
Keban Dam Reservoir
The vast, turquoise-blue waters of one of Turkey's largest man-made lakes formed by the Euphrates.
Malatya Valley
The fertile plains known for apricot orchards, contrasting sharply with the surrounding arid mountains.
Murat River Meanders
The winding path of the Murat River as it approaches the Muş basin from the west.
Muş Plain Arrival
The wide, flat valley floor of Muş surrounded by the imposing Taurus mountain extensions.
Keep your camera ready approximately 20-25 minutes after departure from Ankara to capture Mount Erciyes. For the best landscape photography, afternoon flights are ideal as the sun highlights the textures of the Euphrates river system and the deep ridges of the Eastern Taurus mountains.
