A tandem paragliding flight over Cleopatra Beach Alanya lets you soar high above the Mediterranean coastline while a licensed professional pilot controls the canopy. Taking off from launch pads on the slopes of the Taurus Mountains, you drift over the historic Alanya Castle peninsula and the turquoise sea before making a soft touchdown directly on the golden sands of Cleopatra Beach.
Designed for first-time flyers and travellers of all experience levels, this two-hour total experience includes round-trip transport from your accommodation straight to the takeoff point. With full safety briefings and equipment provided, you can focus entirely on enjoying the aerial perspective of Alanya.
Tandem paragliding requires no previous aviation experience or pilot certification. You are harnessed securely in front of a licensed professional pilot who manages every technical aspect of the flight, including weather monitoring, canopy deployment, steering, and landing procedures. Before leaving the ground, your pilot adjusts your helmet and harness, explains the simple takeoff instructions, and walks you through the flight routine so you feel completely prepared.
Your two-hour trip begins with hotel pickup in Alanya, followed by a drive up the winding mountain roads into the Taurus hills above the city. At the launch point, you gear up and take a brief running start down a moderate grassy slope until the canopy fills with wind and lifts you into the air. During the 15 to 20 minutes in flight, you glide past the high walls of Alanya Castle and out over the open coast. The pilot leads the glider down toward Cleopatra Beach, executing a smooth touchdown right on the designated landing strip by the sand.
To ensure safety during takeoff and landing, you should wear sturdy closed-toe shoes such as trainers or sneakers rather than flip-flops or sandals. Comfortable clothing suited to the season works best, along with sunglasses to protect against wind and glare. Small personal items are stored securely before flight, and pilots conduct strict wind checks prior to every departure to ensure stable thermal conditions before launch.
