Few landscapes on earth match the breathtaking topography of the Turquoise Coast from the air. Just 25 minutes east of Kalkan, Mount Asas towers almost 1,000 meters directly over the Mediterranean, providing one of Europe’s most spectacular paragliding launch points.
Strapped securely in tandem with a master commercial pilot, takeoff requires only a few brisk running strides down a gentle slope before the wing catches the thermal currents and lifts you effortlessly into the sky. Within seconds, the entire panorama opens up: the horseshoe bay of Kaş, the long arm of the Çukurbağ Peninsula, the Greek island of Kastellorizo (Meis) basking just across the strait, and the dramatic coastline leading back toward Kalkan.
During the 25 to 35-minute descent, you glide in serene silence, feeling the refreshing sea breeze. Thrill-seekers can ask their pilot for dynamic spirals and wingovers, while those wanting pure relaxation can sit back and take in the panoramic vista before making a smooth, feather-light landing right on the coastal promenade.
