Ölüdeniz is not only famous for its laid-back tourism and its natural beauty, the magnificent mountain of Babadağ, which forms a dramatic backdrop to the resort, has made it one of the most popular places for paragliding in the world. Visit Ölüdeniz during the summer months and will nearly always see colorful canopies flying high above you, floating effortlessly through the air before they and the people they’re carrying make a smooth landing on the beach. Look closely, you’ll see that, although some are solo pilots, most are tandem paragliders with experienced pilots at the controls; it is they who take care of all the practical things, while you are having the experience of a lifetime. Located on the coast at 1960 meters, Babadag is pretty unique and flying like a bird from one of the several take-offs close to the summit, you’ll be sure to have an awesome paragliding experience too, and one that you’ll always remember.
