Most of them are tandems, so theoretically if you can run, you can glide
You can spot many colourful paraglides in the sky of olu deniz, and they paint an interesting picture along the beautiful beaches, mountains and the mediterranean sea.
This is where they take off (1st launch site: 1700m, 2nd launch site: 2000m)
This is my team of pilots, all tall, slim and look very very fit. (But how come the pilots can sit comfortably at the front and the customers have to be sit very uncomfortably at the rear?)

I used sky sports, a long established company with proven track record.. according to the net review they say it is the best and the safest... unfortunately it is also very conservative
On the way to the 200m summit, you can see how narrow the road is
and if there is traffic from the other side.... I wouldn't want to be on that side.
Meet Miss guinea pig, our first contestant with her pilot. That's what we all say, "ladies first"

Ready for take-off. You can see the site is not well paved with gravels and the slope is quite steep
Run! and the chute is up!
Stop! Stop! (stop before they reach the edge) Crosswind makes the chute and the wires twisted... and so she tried for a total of 3 times and afterwards she said "ladies should not go first"
Me with my helmet and harness... obviously the helmet is a bit small..
