Paragliding in Alanya: Flight over Cleopatra Beach

Soar above the Turkish coast and touch down on one of the world's most famous beaches

Paragliding in Alanya is a tandem flight with a licensed pilot over the Turkish Riviera, ending with a landing on Cleopatra Beach. The experience lasts around 3 hours total, including ground time and transport. Insurance, bottled water, and an air-conditioned vehicle are included. A guide speaks English, German, or Russian. Hotel pickup is available as an option at checkout.

The experience

What does it feel like to step off a cliff and float? You'll find out in Alanya. A licensed pilot handles the equipment and the flight while you're harnessed in, taking in the view for 8–15 minutes as you descend toward Cleopatra Beach. The landing itself is the payoff: you touch down on sand instead of a field, which is rare enough that the operator calls it world-famous. The whole outing, from pickup to return, takes about 3 hours.

The company has been running paragliding flights in Alanya for 7 years with professional pilots and fully equipped vehicles. You'll ride in an air-conditioned car to the launch point, get a briefing on what to expect, and then go up. On the way back, the same vehicle brings you down from the beach. Bottled water and tea or coffee are included, so you're not thirsty between the ground prep and the flight itself.

You can book this with or without hotel pickup. If you arrange your own way to the launch site, the price adjusts. Photos and video of your flight are optional add-ons you choose at checkout. The operator notes that this isn't suitable for people with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or serious heart conditions, but it's open to any fitness level otherwise.
