More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto Babadağ’s ridge with the Aegean unfolding below — a patchwork of aquamarine that dares you to jump. The pilot clips you in, the wind fingers the wing, and a short run turns into a slow, rising glide. For the next half hour the coast slides beneath: Belcekiz’s sandy arc, the calm inlet of Ölüdeniz (the Blue Lagoon), and the scattered stone roofs of Kayaköy toward Fethiye.

Book morning slots
Thermals are calmer early in the day—book first flights for smoother air and clearer visibility.
Bring a windproof layer
Even in summer, altitude chills and wind make a lightweight windbreaker valuable during flight and on the ridge.
Secure a written medical note if needed
If you have minor health concerns, carry documentation and discuss them with the operator before booking.
Wear grippy shoes
You’ll need to run a few steps at launch and navigate uneven terrain at the takeoff area—closed-toe footwear with good traction helps.
Closed-toe trail shoes
Provide traction for the short run at takeoff and stability on rocky launch areas.
Light windbreaker
Blocks chill at altitude and between transfers, especially in spring and early summer mornings.
