Which side of the plane to sit from Platov International Airport (Rostov) to Antalya International Airport (Antalya)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Crimean coastline during the crossing of the Black Sea and provides a stunning panoramic perspective of the Gulf of Antalya and the dramatic Taurus Mountains during the final descent.

Crimean Peninsula
Clear views of the southern coast of Crimea, including the Yalta region, across the Black Sea.
Black Sea Crossing
Expansive views of maritime traffic and the deep blue expanse between Russia and Turkey.
Pontic Mountains
The lush, green-covered mountains of northern Turkey as you enter Turkish airspace.
Antalya Cityscape
A spectacular view of the city, the old harbor, and Konyaaltฤฑ Beach during the final approach.
Gulf of Antalya
The turquoise waters of the Mediterranean meeting the sheer cliffs of the coastline.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon arrivals to catch the 'golden hour' light hitting the Taurus Mountains. During descent, keep your camera ready for the contrast between the snow-capped peaks (in spring) and the turquoise Mediterranean sea.
