Parasailing in Kyrenia: 800 meters above the Mediterranean

You take off from a hillside and land on the beach, with the Mediterranean spreading below the whole way.

Parasail 800 meters above Kyrenia with an experienced tandem pilot, departing from a 750-meter elevation on the hillside and landing on the coast. The flight lasts around two hours total, including the short walk to the takeoff zone and the descent. Your pilot tailors the pace to your preference (a serene glide or an adrenaline rush), and flight insurance is included. An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up and brings you to the launch site.

The Experience

You start from a 750-meter elevation on the hillsides of Kyrenia after a short, gently sloped walk. The takeoff is smooth, and from there the flight unfolds over the Mediterranean with views that don't change once you're airborne. Your tandem pilot steers the experience: if you want a peaceful nature glide, that's what you get. If you want the adrenaline version, they deliver that instead. The landing happens at a private zone on the Kyrenia coast, controlled and safe.

The whole outing runs about two hours. An air-conditioned vehicle picks you up and handles the transport to the launch site, so you don't arrange your own way there. Flight insurance is built in. High-resolution photos and videos of the flight are available to purchase, so you can capture the moment if you want proof of what you just did.

Top questions

What happens if I've never parasailed before?

Tandem parasailing means you're harnessed to an experienced pilot who handles all the flying. You don't need any prior experience or training. The pilot adjusts the flight to match your comfort level, whether you prefer a calm glide or more intensity.

Can I see the Mediterranean the whole time I'm in the air?

Yes. The flight path follows the Kyrenia coast, so the shimmering blues of the Mediterranean are visible throughout the descent from 800 meters down to the landing zone.

How long does the actual flight last?

The total outing is around two hours, which includes the short walk to the takeoff area and the flight itself. The airtime depends on conditions and your pilot's choices, but the experience is built around a full morning or afternoon.

What languages does the guide speak?

Your pilot speaks English, Russian or Turkish, so you can communicate your preferences and ask questions in whichever language you're comfortable with.

Do I need to bring anything or wear special gear?

The operator provides what you need for the flight. Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes for the walk to the takeoff zone. The air-conditioned vehicle handles transport, so pack light.
