If you plan to do
only one activity whilst on holiday
in Turkey, it has to be this! With
the impressive 6,460ft Babadag
(Father Mountain) engulfing
the horizon nearby and the
wonderful Blue Lagoon refining
the landscape, this beautiful
resort on the Southwest coast
of Turkey is known for being the
best paragliding site in Europe.
The amazing scenery, the ideal
currents and weather conditions
here, as well as the multitude
of companies that provide
paragliding services in the
area, makes Oludeniz a magnet
for those aiming to try this
breathtaking sport.
Controlled by a fully qualified
pilot, your glider is launched from
an altitude of approximately 2,000
metres, giving you plenty of time
to enjoy the breathtaking views
before gently descending to the
beach. No previous experience is
required, although you should be
in generally good health.
