Which side of the plane to sit from Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg) to Larnaca International Airport (Larnaca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Mediterranean coastline, the rugged Taurus Mountains of Turkey, and a panoramic view of the Cypriot landscape during the final approach into Larnaca.
Gulf of Finland
Beautiful views of the Baltic coast and the Kronstadt Naval Cathedral during the initial climb.
Anatolian Plateau
Rugged, arid landscapes and unique geological formations across the heart of Turkey.
Turkish Riviera
The turquoise waters and white beaches of the Antalya region as the plane heads out over the sea.
Troodos Mountains
The central mountain range of Cyprus becomes visible as the aircraft descends toward the island.
Limassol Coastline
Sweeping views of the southern Cypriot coast and the busy shipping lanes of the Mediterranean.
Highly recommended for afternoon flights to enjoy a spectacular Mediterranean sunset. As the plane circles for landing at LCA, the right side typically offers the most comprehensive view of the island's southern beaches and urban sprawl.
St. Petersburg Skyline
Clear views of the Neva River, the Hermitage, and the historic center shortly after takeoff.
Black Sea Expanse
A vast blue horizon as the flight crosses from the southern Russian or Georgian coast toward Turkey.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic, often snow-capped peaks in Southern Turkey providing a sharp contrast to the Mediterranean coast.
Larnaca Salt Lake
A glimpse of the unique salt flats and seasonal wetlands just before touching down at LCA.
Choose this side for early morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. Keep your camera ready during the first 10 minutes for aerial views of the Neva delta and the Lakhta Center.
