ESCAPE 2 OLYMPOS
PARAGLIDING started its Tandem paragliding activity in Antalya Tahtalı Mountain
in 2011 giving you the ability to fly with the lightest aviation vehicle taking
in the breathtaking views of the Mediterranean, ancient cities, untouched bays
and natural beauty within the boundaries of Beydağları Coastal National Park.
Mount Tahtali which is the highest mountain nearest to the coast is the highest
mountain paragliding facility in the world with the height difference of 2,365
meters between take off and landing.
We are proud of having this place for paragliding and the country's tourism.
Over the 6 years 8,500 people flown from Tahtalı Mountain. We continue to
carry out paragliding flights with the highest standards and safety as a
priority.
Guests , who want to fly , are transferred from the hotel by comfortable
vehicles and experienced drivers. Guests are met at the Escape office by the
professional operations team, where registration is completed. The pilots carry
out daily weather checks, after which the best departure point and flight route
for the weather conditions are determined. Guests are then transported to the
Mount Tahtalı cable car station, the greatest feature of mount. Starting
from 750m, the cable car carries 80 people on a 10 minute journey up to the
summit at 2365 metres.
During this journey you will have the chance to see the cedar trees and wild animals
that are unique to the region and once you reach the summit you then have the
opportunity to see the unique panoramic view of the Mediterranean .
Our pilots; Turkish National Team athletes and paragliders are well-known,
specialist, tandem pilots in the paragliding arena.
Escape pilots have been carefully selected for your safety and comfort from
highly experienced paragliding pilots. They have a minimum of 6 years
paragliding experience and 3,000 flight hours is a prerequisite for
proficiency. Pilots have at least one of the American, German or Turkish
Aviation Association Commercial Tandem Pilot licenses.
Once the pilots have given you a briefing with general information about the
flight and landing, what to do during take-off is shown practically. All
equipments are checked again after flight suits, flight boots, flight equipment
and helmets fitted. When appropriate weather conditions are met, in just a few
steps, you will leave the mountain and open the wings to freedom.
