You stand on a wind‑cut ridge at Yassı Tepe, the sea opening beneath you like a wide, honest blue. The pilot checks straps, the glider breathes in the thermal, and the breeze takes you—sudden, steady—lifting you free above Cleopatra Bay. Below, the shoreline unspools: golden sand, fishermen’s boats, and the white arc of Cleopatra Beach where the landing will be gentle and precise.
