For licensed pilots visiting Ölüdeniz.
Ölüdeniz combines over 300 flying days a year with reliable coastal thermals and four launch points on Babadağ between 1,200m and 1,960m, giving pilots options across a wide range of conditions and experience levels — from relaxed local soaring to serious cross-country lines.
You'll need your pilot licence/rating, insurance, and to follow local flight rules and airspace restrictions — see our dedicated pages on equipment requirements, flight rules and insurance/permissions for the specifics before you arrive.
Beyond launch access, visiting pilots can arrange equipment hire, meteorology briefings, retrieval after XC flights, radio hire and secure gear storage — everything needed to fly efficiently without bringing or arranging it all yourself.
Yes, provided you meet local requirements around licensing, insurance and site rules — see our flight rules and insurance/permissions pages for full details.
Yes, retrieval is one of our pilot services, alongside route briefings and radio hire for visiting XC pilots.
The season runs April–October, with May–June and September–October offering the most reliable, well-organised thermals for both local soaring and XC.
Tandem flights available daily April – October. Book online or contact us directly.
