Potential views of the Bosphorus bridges and the historical peninsula shortly after takeoff.
Mount Erciyes
The towering volcanic summit near Kayseri visible rising from the central plateau.

The winding path of the Fırat River carving through deep rocky canyons and valleys.
Keban Reservoir
Vast turquoise waters of one of Turkey's largest man-made lakes and hydroelectric dams.
Eastern Taurus Peaks
Jagged, high-altitude mountain scenery during the final approach into the Muş valley.

Pontic Mountains
Lush green slopes and high-altitude mountain pastures of the northern Anatolian ranges.
