Tandem paragliding over Ölüdeniz

Babadağ is one of the best-known paragliding sites in Europe: a mountain that drops straight to the Blue Lagoon. Guests are driven up the mountain road in 4x4s, briefed by the chief pilot and flown in tandem by pilots licensed by the Turkish Aeronautical Association.

Flights last 25 to 40 minutes depending on the wind. No experience is needed; the pilot handles take-off, steering and landing, and the guest only runs a few steps at launch. Each flight is filmed on a wing-mounted camera.

For groups, we stagger take-offs in waves of eight so the team gathers on the beach as people land, with a reserved beach club for lunch and swimming. Guests who prefer not to fly can ride to the summit and watch from the take-off terrace.
