You stand at Babadağ’s edge at roughly 6,550 ft, wind under your harness and the turquoise of Ölüdeniz daring you below. The beach and the Blue Lagoon contract and expand in the distance—St. Nicholas island a pale jewel, Butterfly Valley a green cut in the cliff. A certified instructor runs a final systems check; the wing breathes, then you’re lifted. Thermals tilt the ride from languid glide to thrilling wing-over, and the Mediterranean pushes the horizon wider.

Confirm weight and health requirements
Operators screen for weight, pregnancy, and cardiovascular or spinal issues—declare conditions honestly during booking.

Provide traction and ankle support for the short run at takeoff and uneven landing zones.
