You stand on Yassı Tepe Hill, wind pressing at your jacket, the Mediterranean unspooling below like a sheet of glass. The pilot checks the harness and the wing bellows; a few steps and gravity hands you to the air. For a dozen breath-stealing minutes you float past Alanya Castle, trace the coastline, and descend toward the sand at Cleopatra Beach where the surf seems to reach up to greet you.
