Experience the thrill of paragliding over Alanya with Ulusky
Imagine taking off from the slopes of the Taurus Mountains, with Alanya’s coastline stretching out beneath you like a vibrant postcard. Ulusky Paragliding offers just that—a chance to glide through the sky while enjoying panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, the ancient Alanya Castle, and the lush greenery of the region. 🌄✨
The paragliding experience typically starts from top of Toros Mountain, about 10 kilometers north of Alanya’s city center. Most operators provide transportation from Alanya, making it easy to reach the take-off point. The flight lasts around 20 minutes, depending on weather conditions, and lands gently on Cleopatra Beach or nearby areas.
The best time to go paragliding in Alanya is during the spring (April to June) or autumn (September to October) when the weather is stable, and the winds are favorable. Early mornings or late afternoons are ideal for smoother flights and softer light for photography. 📸🌅
For a safe and enjoyable experience, wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes. Sunglasses and sunscreen are a must, as the sun can be strong at higher altitudes. Most operators provide all necessary equipment, including helmets and harnesses, but it’s always good to confirm in advance. Avoid heavy meals before the flight, and listen carefully to the instructions from your pilot.
Fun fact: Alanya is one of the few places in Türkiye where you can paraglide over both the sea and mountains in a single flight, offering a unique perspective of the region’s diverse landscapes.
