Launch from Yassi Tepe and glide 15–20 minutes over Alanya’s castle, cliffs and Cleopatra Beach. This tandem paragliding flight combines a short transfer, licensed pilots, and a beach landing that makes for dramatic photos.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You wait at the grassy rim of Yassi Tepe, the wind lifting and dropping like a horse testing a rider. Below, Alanya unfurls: a knife-edge fortress on red rock, a crescent of sand at Cleopatra Beach, and the turquoise Mediterranean widening to the horizon. When the pilot signals, the wing fills and the town slips away — for 15–20 minutes you ride thermals over castle ruins, citrus terraces and serrated Taurus ridgelines before the pilot brings you down to warm sand.
