On clear days, the massive snow-capped volcanic peak near Kayseri is visible on the southern horizon.
Kızılırmak River
Watch for the dramatic loops and curves of Turkey's longest river as it carves through the plateau.
Anatolian Steppes
The vast, golden-hued agricultural heartland of Turkey stretching toward the horizon.
Sit on the right for the best views of the Anatolian interior. During winter, the landscape transforms into a dramatic white expanse. Afternoon flights provide excellent golden-hour lighting for photography of the river bends and Mount Erciyes.
