HRK β†’ LCA

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a more scenic descent into Cyprus, featuring views of the Crimean coastline, the unique salt lakes of Turkey, and the iconic Larnaca Salt Lake upon final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
πŸ—ΊοΈ

Crimean Peninsula

Depending on the specific flight corridor, you may see the distant outlines of the Crimean mountains and coastline.

πŸ§‚

Lake Tuz

A massive, shimmering white and pink salt lake in Central Anatolia, one of the largest hyper-saline lakes in the world.

⛰️

Central Taurus Range

Dramatic limestone peaks and steep gorges that separate the Anatolian plateau from the Mediterranean coast.

🦩

Larnaca Salt Lake

The stunning pink-hued salt lake located right next to the airport, which is a seasonal home to thousands of flamingos.

The Right Side is preferred for afternoon flights to minimize direct sun glare. It offers a spectacular view of Lake Tuz in Turkey, which is a major geographic highlight. On the final descent into LCA, the right side usually provides the best view of the Larnaca Salt Lake and the city's coastal outskirts.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌾

Ukrainian Steppes

Vast stretches of fertile agricultural land with distinct geometric patterns in the Kharkiv and Dnipro regions.

🌊

Black Sea Horizon

A long stretch of deep blue waters as the flight crosses from the Ukrainian coast toward Turkey.

πŸ”οΈ

Eastern Taurus Mountains

Rugged, high-altitude peaks and deep valleys as the plane traverses the eastern part of the Anatolian peninsula.

🏝️

Northern Cyprus Coastline

Clear views of the Karpas Peninsula and the turquoise waters surrounding the eastern tip of the island.

Sit on the left for the morning sunrise during early flights. This side provides excellent views of the Taurus Mountains' eastern ranges, which can be snow-capped well into the spring. Keep an eye out for the rugged coastline of Northern Cyprus as you approach the island.
