First leg in Asia, taking off from Antalya right after a storm. I have been for few days stuck there, waiting for a better weather, and the moment was today. In addition, some VIP passangers wanted to fly to Kahramanmaras, so I took them. I encountered some heavy traffic on the takeoff but we managed to not interfere with each other and I flew the visual departure along the coast, towards Alanya.
From here, I headed East, following stunning valleys and lakes till the coast again.
Cyprus could be seen in the horizon. The region of Adana is very interesting, with flat ground surrounded by mountains. I crossed this at high altitude, to have a better view of the whole region.
And finally the approach to Kahramanmaras and the landing, again between mountains and crop fields.
Quite interesting leg, combining coast and mountains. So far, I'm enjoying Turkey a lot.
