Kızılırmak River
Aerial views of Turkey's longest river as it meanders through the rugged terrain near Sivas.
Ankara Region
Views of the high-altitude plateaus and the rugged landscape surrounding the Turkish capital to the north.
Mount Spil
The dramatic limestone massif near Manisa becomes clearly visible during the descent into the Izmir basin.
Gulf of Izmir
Spectacular panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the shoreline as the plane turns for its final approach.
Izmir Cityscape
A detailed view of the urban sprawl, the 'Kordon' waterfront, and the bustling port area just before landing.
The right side is the 'money' side for the arrival into Izmir. Most flight paths align for a landing from the north or south that puts the city and the sea in clear view. Book a seat in the front third of the cabin to avoid engine heat blur, which can distort your photos of the Aegean coast.

Central Anatolian Steppe
Vast, high-altitude plains showing the unique golden and ochre hues of the Turkish interior.
Taurus Mountain Peaks
Distant views of the northern ridges of the Taurus range stretching across the southern horizon.
Büyük Menderes Valley
The landscape transforms from dry steppe to lush, green agricultural valleys as you enter the Aegean region.
Eğirdir Lake Glimpses
On clear days, the turquoise shimmer of the Lake District can be spotted to the southwest.
The left side is prone to glare during morning flights as the sun is to the south. Opt for this side during late afternoon flights to enjoy softer light on the Taurus mountains. Sit well away from the wing to see the transition from the high plateau to the coastal valleys.
