Our Recommendation
8.6

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a superior perspective of the shimmering Lake Tuz in Central Anatolia and the dramatic descent over the Troodos Mountains into the Akamas Peninsula before landing at Paphos.

Right Side Highlights
8.6
🧂

Lake Tuz

The massive, bright white salt lake in central Turkey, which creates a stunning geometric pattern from high altitude.

☁️

Anatolian Plateau

The vast, arid landscapes and volcanic formations of central Turkey.

🌲

Troodos Mountains

The pine-covered mountain range that forms the green heart of Cyprus during the descent into PFO.

🐢

Akamas Peninsula

The pristine nature reserve and blue lagoons on the northwest tip of Cyprus, often visible during the landing loop.

The right side is ideal for capturing the unique white expanse of Lake Tuz. On the approach to Paphos, the plane often maneuvers over the Mediterranean, offering a panoramic view of the Akamas Peninsula's turquoise waters. Seasonal dust from the Sahara can sometimes haze the view over the Mediterranean in spring.

🌊

Caucasus Transition

Views of the Russian Black Sea coastline as the aircraft departs Krasnodar heading south.

🏔️

Pontic Alps

The rugged, green mountain ranges of northern Turkey as you cross from the Black Sea into Anatolia.

🏙️

Limassol Coastline

Distant views of the southern Cypriot coastline and the port city of Limassol during the final descent.

⛰️

Eastern Taurus

High-altitude views of the limestone peaks stretching across southern Turkey.

Choose the left side if you want to see the sunrise over the Black Sea during early morning flights. Keep an eye out for the Turkish coastline near Samsun as you enter Turkish airspace.
