Which side of the plane to sit from Kassel-Calden Airport (Kassel) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Western Taurus Mountains and the stunning Turkish Lake District during the descent, along with a better perspective of the Antalya coastline upon arrival.
Alpine Horizon
On clear days, the distant peaks of the Austrian Alps are visible to the south during the first half of the flight.
Lake Eğirdir
A massive, vibrant turquoise lake nestled within the mountains of southwestern Turkey.
Western Taurus Peaks
Dramatic limestone massifs that define the approach into the Antalya region.
Antalya Bay
Sweeping views of the Mediterranean coastline and the Konyaaltı beach area during the final approach.
The right side is the 'scenic side' for the arrival. About 20-30 minutes before landing, look for the unique turquoise color of the Turkish Lake District. Morning flights offer the best light for photographing the Taurus Mountains on this side.
Kassel Cityscape
Aerial views of Kassel and the Fulda river valley shortly after takeoff from Calden.
Balkan Mountains
The rugged terrain of the Stara Planina range stretching across Bulgaria.
Black Sea Horizon
Distant views of the Western Black Sea coastline as the flight enters Turkish airspace.
Central Taurus Range
Sharp limestone peaks and deep canyons of the central Anatolian mountain belt.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to minimize sun glare. Keep an eye out for the Danube River as you cross into the Balkans; it serves as a major geographic marker midway through the trip.
