Parasailing in Alanya: Tandem flight from 700m with beach landing

You land on Cleopatra Beach, not in a boat or a field.

Tandem parasailing in Alanya is a 15–25 minute flight from Yassı Tepe Hill, 700 meters above sea level, with a licensed pilot controlling the parachute while you take in views of Cleopatra Beach, Alanya Castle, and the Mediterranean coastline. Hotel pickup and drop-off, safety gear, and a ground crew assist on landing. No experience needed. A certified pilot handles the flight.

The experience

You arrive at your hotel with an afternoon free and no paragliding background. The operator picks you up and drives you to Yassı Tepe Hill, the highest takeoff point in the area. Once there, a certified pilot walks you through the safety briefing, fits you with a helmet and harness, and explains the takeoff and landing posture. The whole setup takes the pressure off. You're not learning to fly, you're strapping in and stepping forward while the pilot does the work.

The flight itself lasts 15–25 minutes depending on wind. You glide directly over Cleopatra Beach, one of Turkey's most recognizable stretches of sand, with Alanya Castle rising on the headland and the turquoise Mediterranean spreading below. The views are the point: at 700 meters you see the whole coastline at once, something you cannot get from the ground or from a boat. The landing is the detail that sets this apart. You touch down on the beach itself, not offshore, so the ground crew meets you on sand and helps you out of the gear without a second transition.

After landing, the operator drives you back to your hotel. The whole outing (pickup, flight, landing and return) fits inside a morning or an afternoon, leaving the rest of your day open.
