Paraglide at Oludeniz

By Pat Yale

Float into the sky from a mountain overlooking the sea. It may sound like fantasy, but when you're strapped into your chute it'll feel quite real. Head for Oludeniz, near Fethiye, which boasts a gorgeous blue lagoon and a multitude of watersports. An hour's drive up a rough road on Mount Babadag brings you to the paragliding jump-off point. Mist and rain might roll in to spoil your fun, but is all is well, you'll soon be sailing into the air, firmly strapped to your instructor. Boots, helmet, and flying suit are included in the $100 price tag.
