More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
From the ridge of Yassı Tepe the world tilts and opens: a cliff-drop takeoff, wind knuckling through lines, and below the curve of Cleopatra Beach—a band of gold against turquoise—waiting like a coastal runway. Pilots clip harnesses, check lines with practiced hands, and the world shifts from shore to sky as you lift, the town of Alanya shrinking into rooftops and the castle crown growing sharper on the headland.
