Babadag, covering the eastern part of Öludeniz, is famous as being one of the best flying points in the world for paragliding. Babadag is on the list of “world heritage” due to its rich flora and presents the splendour of Öludeniz and its environs from a different perspective.
After a 4×4 trip on a rough mountain road, the summit at an altitude of 1975 meters is reached. Before the jump all precautions are taken. The pilot accompanying you gives you the technical information and advises you on what you have to do.
All that is left to you is to run a few steps towards the wind and let yourself go in the sky. Once the parachute opens, you will glide through clouds and reach the sea. Now relax and enjoy this perfect flight.
Accomodation and airport pickups can be arranged by the company. Experienced Pilots are also driven to the key start destinations.Even if you’ve never done paragliding this is the best place to give it a shot.

Hello,
Twice a year I go to Oludeniz. This is my favourite spot in May and October. I like the atmosphere, the hotels, the beach, the Elvis imitator and most of all : the superb flying!
There is one BIG annoyance I have when I go to Oludeniz : The Babadag Mountain Tax raised by the Forestry Ministry.
Single pilot going up to Babadag take off’s have to pay 10 YTL (=5 euro ) every time they go up, tandem passengers pay 15 YTL. There are approximately 60.000 starts a year from mount Babadag. That’s a lot of money for the Forestry Ministry !
I wouldn’t mind paying this tax if at least some of the money would be used to make flying in Oludeniz better and safer. But the top take off’s are in a poor condition ! Things the Forestry Ministry can do : clean up take off, removal of shrubs and stones, carpet on takeoff , good sanitary installation, better roads,…
In the petition we ask the Forestry Ministry to lower the tax or to spend at least part of the money on making flying conditions better and safer. If many pilots sign the petition this might change something !
Thanks !
Greetz
