Ride the Olympos Cable Car to 2,365 m, launch from one of the highest coastal peaks and float 25–40 minutes above ancient Phaselis and the glittering Three Islands. This guided tandem paragliding trip pairs summit drama with a beach landing in Tekirova.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step into the cable car and the valley shrinks beneath you—vineyards, red-tile roofs and a patchwork Mediterranean sea that seems to pull at the horizon. Ten minutes later the summit of Tahtalı (Olympos) opens: wind already testing the ridgeline, pilots checking lines, and the sky wide enough to swallow a lifetime of small worries.
