Launch from Mount Akchali Tepe and drift above Cleopatra Beach on a 20–30 minute tandem paraglide. This accessible flight pairs coastal panoramas with a concise safety briefing and Jeep transfer.
You step onto a sun-warmed ridge at 650 meters, the Mediterranean opening like a bright page beneath you. The pilot checks lines, the wind asks a question against your jacket, then the slope gives — and for the next 20–30 minutes you float. The coastline peels away: Cleopatra Beach’s pale sand, the terraced roofs of Alanya, and the serrated silhouette of the Taurus range pushing inland.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step onto a sun-warmed ridge at 650 meters, the Mediterranean opening like a bright page beneath you. The pilot checks lines, the wind asks a question against your jacket, then the slope gives — and for the next 20–30 minutes you float. The coastline peels away: Cleopatra Beach’s pale sand, the terraced roofs of Alanya, and the serrated silhouette of the Taurus range pushing inland.
This flight follows a simple local arc: meet at Cleopatra Beach, a Jeep carries the group to Mount Akchali Tepe, and a certified tandem pilot runs through a compact safety briefing before launch. Paragliding over Alanya blends geology and history — limestone ridges carved by ancient rivers, Ottoman-era walls crowning the peninsula, and beaches long associated with regional trade and tourism. Locals still fish from small boats while tourists stroll the harbor; from above those activities feel patient and deliberate.
Practical guidance: arrive early for cooler, more stable morning thermals; expect 3 hours total including transfers and briefing. No previous flying experience is required, but operators screen for health and weight. Wear sturdy shoes for the short takeoff approach, a windproof layer, and secure any loose items—phones need a tether. Operators provide harnesses, helmets, and reserve parachutes; pilots handle flight controls, so your role is to follow instructions for takeoff and landing.
This is an accessible airborne window into southern Turkey: thrilling enough to register, calm enough to see every detail below. Treat the coastline with respect, listen to your pilot, and bring a camera with a strap — the view rewards patience and preparation.
