Turkey is well known as a free flying country due to lack of restrictions on paragliding and hangliding. There is no official requirement for membership, insurance, site permission, etc., but entrance fees apply to some popular sites such as Oludeniz. Just grab your glider and off to go, there is no one in between you and the sky. Come and enjoy the ultimate freedom in this marvellous place.
Oludeniz is a dream location, arguably the highest fly down from any dive up paragliding site. The launch area at 6000 ft is a gentle slope where you and youre pilot are harnessed together and your glider is laid out behind you ready for take off. When the conditions are right you will both run until the glider inflates above your head and gently lifts you off the ground… You’re Airborne. Now you can sit back and enjoy the thrill of soaring with the birds above the beatifull bay of Oludeniz. So take your camera to record the experience of a lifetime which will last at 1/2 hours. The landing is as smooth as take off, the pilot flaires the canopy and you touch down with a little forward motion.
Oludeniz has one of the highest commercial take off sites in the world, at 6550 ft (1965 m), giving you the most spectacular flight of them all.If you like, your friendly, english speaking pilot, will introduce you to 360 degree turns, wing overs and even thermals which may extend your flight. You are also given the chance to fly side by side with friends, which makes for a great photo opportunity, giving you an experience you won’t forget. Landing on Oludeniz beach is as easy as take off, but a warning, after landing you may not be able to wipe the smile from your face !!!
