Turkey has incredible paragliding. Oludeniz is the best.
Ölüdeniz is Turkey's undisputed paragliding capital — and one of the top three commercial flying sites on Earth. The combination is unmatched anywhere in the country: a 1,960-metre launch mountain rising straight from the Mediterranean, a legendary lagoon below, a beach landing in a resort town and a season stretching from late April to early November.
Other Turkish sites are worth knowing — but if you will fly once in Turkey, you fly here.
How the well-known spots stack up:
Beyond the tandem scene, Babadağ hosts international competitions and acro events, has cable-car access to multiple launch heights, and offers reliable thermals that draw XC and acro pilots from around the world every season.
For visitors that pedigree translates simply: mature safety standards, SHGM-certified professional pilots and an operation that flies nearly every day of a seven-month season.
Fly into Dalaman Airport (about 50 minutes away), base yourself in Ölüdeniz or Fethiye, and reserve your flight for early in your stay — that leaves weather margin to rebook if needed. A standard tandem costs $150 with transfers, equipment and a licensed pilot included.
Turkey is one of the world's best paragliding destinations, and Ölüdeniz is its crown jewel — a 1,960m seaside launch with a seven-month season, hosting pilots and competitions from all over the world.
No — tandem flights require zero experience. Your SHGM-certified pilot handles everything; you just run a few steps at takeoff and enjoy the flight.
In Ölüdeniz a standard tandem flight with Atmos Paragliding is a fixed $150, all-inclusive: hotel pickup, mountain transfer, equipment, a licensed pilot and a professional photo & video package.
Tandem flights all year round — daily in season (April–October), weather permitting in winter — one fixed $150 all-inclusive price. Book online or contact us directly.
