You launch from a wind-cut ridge above Alanya, run five to ten meters with your pilot, and the cliff lets go beneath you — the Mediterranean unfurls in a band of turquoise while Alanya Castle perches on its headland.

You launch from a wind-cut ridge above Alanya, run five to ten meters with your pilot, and the cliff lets go beneath you — the Mediterranean unfurls in a band of turquoise while Alanya Castle perches on its headland.
This tandem flight follows the same coastal airflows that have carried fishermen’s kites and coastal traders for centuries. The cliffs here are limestone scarps of the Taurus foothills, eroded into terraces that funnel steady onshore wind — perfect for paragliders and for views down to Kleopatra Beach’s wide sand.
The town beyond the castle is a working coastal community: busy markets, citrus orchards on the outskirts, and the slow rhythm of boats in the small harbor. Local pilots often point out Ottoman-era walls and the Roman shipyard ruins below the castle during clear-weather flights.
Practical guidance: transfers from central Alanya are included; total activity time is around 3–5 hours door-to-door because of pickups, safety briefings, rigging, and return transfer. Actual airtime typically runs 10–20 minutes depending on thermals and wind. Pilots handle takeoff and landing, but you’ll be invited to hold the brakes and feel the controls if conditions allow.
Expect a short running launch, weight-bearing for the initial run, and a sandy beach landing on Kleopatra Beach. Wear trainers with good grip, layers for wind at altitude, and bring a small camera with a secure strap. Flights are weather-dependent and may be canceled in strong winds or rain.
moderate.
3–5 hours (includes transfers); 10–20 minutes flight time.
Should have moderate fitness: able to run 5–10 meters and stand for brief safety briefings; not suitable for those with serious spinal or cardiovascular issues
Actual airtime typically ranges from 10 to 20 minutes depending on wind and thermal conditions; the full activity including pickup and briefing takes about 3–5 hours.
No — this is a tandem flight with an experienced pilot who manages launch, flight, and landing; passengers should have basic mobility to run briefly and follow instructions.
Not recommended for pregnant travelers, or those with serious spinal, back or heart conditions; operators usually require a moderate fitness level.
Most flights land on Kleopatra Beach on sand near the shoreline, so expect a gentle run-out onto the beach and a short walk back to transfers.
Alanya Castle crowns a peninsula with remains from Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman periods; the coastal cliffs were historically strategic lookout points for seafaring trade.
Pilots and operators generally avoid flying over nesting cliffs during breeding season; treat beach landings respectfully and avoid littering to protect shore habitats.
