Launch from Tahtali’s 2,365m summit and glide along Mediterranean thermals for panoramic views of Phaselis, Çıralı and the Taurus range. This tandem paragliding trip pairs Swiss cable car access with experienced Turkish pilots for a high-altitude, accessible flight.
You step out of the cable car into thin, cold air at 2,365 meters and the Mediterranean spills away beneath you—blue, bright, and uncompromising. Pilots strap you into a tandem harness, check lines with practiced calm, and the ridge seems to lean forward, inviting a slow, wind-carved lift. Then you run a few strides and the world slips under you: the coast, the ruins of Phaselis, the pebble arcs of Çıralı, and the pine-scattered flanks of the Taurus mountains become a living map.

Tahtalı (Olympos Tahtalı) sits on the western edge of Antalya Province, formed from limestone uplift and shaped by Mediterranean weathering. The mountain has long watched the Lycian coast—ancient sailors used the peaks and bays for navigation; today pilots use the same thermals those mariners would have felt as gentle pushes. The modern cable car, installed with Swiss systems, compresses a 1,000‑meter climb into about 15 minutes, making high-altitude flight accessible without a long approach.
Practical guide: flights are tandem only—no prior training required—but pilots expect a moderate fitness level for a short run and safe landing. Expect cold, gusts, and rapidly changing light; layers and windproof outerwear help. Arrive early for calmer morning thermals and clearer visibility; afternoons bring stronger winds and the possibility of cancellations. Weight and health restrictions apply; the operator provides German-made rigs and full briefing.
This is an aerial adventure that balances adrenaline and scenery—an efficient, high-altitude way to read the coastline from above while relying on experienced pilots and established safety systems.
No; tandem flights are designed for first-timers—your pilot handles all flying. You’ll receive a short safety briefing and assist with a brief run at launch.
Restrictions vary by operator; children and infants may have special rules and most companies set a maximum weight—provide exact weights when booking.
Flight time varies with conditions but typically lasts 10–30 minutes; the total activity window (transfer, cable car, briefing) is around three hours.
Operators usually offer a refund or rescheduling if canceled for safety—check the policy but most require cancellation 24 hours prior for a full refund.
