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.
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.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The peninsula’s cliffs are Late Cenozoic limestone carved by uplift and the sea; Alanya Castle dates to the Seljuk period (13th century) and punctuates the skyline you’ll circle. Local culture mixes small fishing harbors, seaside cafés and riverside escapes like Dimçay a short drive inland. Operators run licensed tandem flights from Yassi Tepe because its 700-meter launch gives predictable lift and direct glide paths to Cleopatra Beach. The landing on sand is part of the draw — and photographers prize the low-angle shots of castle and coast.
Practical guide: expect a 2–3 hour total booking (transfer, briefing, flight). Bring sun protection, confident balance for takeoff/landing, and lightweight clothing layered for wind chill at altitude. Weight and health limits apply; children and most beginners fly tandem with experienced pilots. Operators provide harnesses and helmets; professional photo/video is usually extra. Aim for morning or late afternoon flights when winds are steadier and light is best for photos.

Alanya’s castle and harbor were fortified by the Seljuks in the 13th century; the coastal layout you see from the air reflects centuries of maritime trade.
Operators and local authorities encourage respecting turtle nesting seasons and avoiding litter on beaches; minimize drone use and follow pilot instructions to reduce disturbance.
