You launch from a sun-warmed ridge above the Mediterranean and in a heartbeat the town, the castle, and Cleopatra Beach fall away beneath you—the sea daring you to look down as thermals lift the glider. The first minutes are a hush of wind and the quiet guidance of a certified pilot, then the coast opens: terraced citrus orchards, the red roofs of Alanya, and the sweep of blue that meets the horizon.
