What is paragliding in Alanya?
Paragliding in Alanya is a tandem flight from a mountain, not a jump from an aircraft. You take off from Yassi Hill at 800 meters and fly with a professional pilot down to Cleopatra Beach.
The flight is stable and controlled. There is no free fall. After take-off, you stay in the air and follow the coastline with open sea views until landing.
Take-off and landing location
The take-off point is Yassi Hill, located above Alanya. This altitude provides stable conditions for a longer coastal flight.
Landing takes place directly at Cleopatra Beach. This is one of the main features of paragliding in Alanya, as the landing area is close to the coastline and easy to access.
Flight duration and conditions
Flight time is 15–30 minutes depending on wind conditions and passenger weight. Thermal conditions and wind direction directly affect how long you stay in the air.
Each flight is planned based on wind direction and weather conditions to maintain a stable and controlled glide.
Tandem and solo paragliding
Most participants join as a tandem flight with a licensed pilot. The pilot controls take-off, flight direction and landing.
Solo flight is only possible for participants with a valid paragliding certificate and approval from the operating team.
