You stand at Yassı Tepe as the wind sculpts itself against the ridge; below, Cleopatra Beach unfurls a strip of gold and turquoise that seems to dare you to leave the shore. The pilot checks straps and instruments while the town’s white roofs and the castle silhouette slide into the distance. A short run and the paraglider takes the weight of your body—suddenly the sea leans in and the shore drops away.
