Embrace the Mediterranean in the sky! Fethiye, I'm coming!

Fethiye is indeed one of the most beautiful paragliding places in the world, half the mountains and half the sea, the color layers of the rich spread of the Mediterranean blue and the green of the mountains, it is too shocking! This coward can't resist trying! Experience: No fear at all, the view is beautiful and enjoyable, the whole process is very smooth and you don't feel very far from the land when you are in the sky, here are some tips:

【 Company + Time 】

1. Company
I chose butterfly paragliding, the pilot has a lot of experience, the personal test is really good, flower and youth chose this same. Paragliding takes off in the mountains near oludeniz beach, about 10 kilometers from the city, and the usual booking price includes hotel transfers up to the mountain ready for takeoff. However, if possible, staying near the beach is definitely the best way to come to Fethiye! There are many hostels beside the beach, in fact, there is really no need to be about the most popular small red book, personal feelings are more important than the pilot travel agency!!

2. Price

$180 + $40 to take pictures, should be too expensive, you can try a counteroffer, but there are small 100 photos, there are 5-6 videos, including 360, etc., very complete.

3. Time

My husband is more than 7:30, the morning time can meet their sunrise, take off will be particularly beautiful, but the back may not be bright enough, I am 10 o 'clock, then the whole is very bright, you can clearly see the Mediterranean all kinds of deep blue! The midday light is too strong, the sea below will reflect the light, for the sake of insurance, it is recommended to fly in the morning, I was going to fly the previous afternoon, the result suddenly there are dark clouds can not fly, the whole course is about 20 minutes.

【 Flight process 】

Read some dangerous posts are due to improper operation of the coach, caused by the landing of the abrasion, so the coach is really important! After all, paragliding is an activity where you put your life in the hands of the pilot, and I was immediately reassured when I heard that my family's pilots had 25 and 30 years of experience, respectively! After flying and observing others' umbrellas on the beach, the landing was very smooth.


1, before takeoff
First pull us up to 2800m, according to the wind conditions to determine whether to take off, if there is no wind may pull to a higher place.

2. Get Started
Run with the coach, 2-3 steps take off, there will be a little weightlessness, but not to the extent of fear.

3, after takeoff
The wind is stronger when the altitude is higher, but the overall is very smooth, and there will be several different routes to ensure that we can see the mountains and the sea.

4. Coach
My pilot has 25 years of experience and says it's his family business so he's been flying since he was a kid Hahaha! He also said that he was a crazy person, if I can't accept it, I can replace him, but I think he has 25 years of experience and crazy will ensure safety! It turned out to be quite safe, taking me in circles on the way! It is estimated that if I am not afraid of him, he will have more crazy operations, and friends who want to experience excitement can choose him! My family's pilots are all about smooth flight and landing!

5. Action
The coach will ask you if you want action/extreme mode/exciting mode, etc., which means relatively exciting action, if the daring is relatively small, it will say no action, generally there will be swings, rotation in place, etc., stimulating high-speed gliding and 360 rotation, remember to eat a motion sickness, will particularly want to vomit.

6, landing
The instructor will put the camera in our hands before we hit the ground, so remember to lift your feet before you hit the ground so you don't beat the instructor to the ground, or there will be an impact, and then start to trot and slow down.


【 Pose and dress 】
March weather is a little cold, wearing shorts is not realistic, although the shorts are really very out of the film, but wearing a little more, the next pair of yoga pants will not be cold, the effect is also good, don't wear too loose pants can! During the flight, the instructor will guide you to take photos, so don't worry about posing!

1, wear shorts/tights with high skin exposure, do not wear slacks, or you will go for a ride
2, the shirt can wear sunscreen long sleeves, the whole UV is still super strong

  1. Wear shoes that won't fall off
    4, wear sunglasses, facing the light will not open your eyes
    5, the more relaxed the posture, the more beautiful, the core is to lift your feet/cross, laugh happily, open your hands, and compare your heart

Wish you all a wonderful paragliding trip!!
