Babadag Mountain is one of the most famous mountains in Turkey, which is famous for its paragliding activities. If you are thinking about your holidays in Turkey and looking for activities that will take your breath away, then this should be at the top of your list.
What makes these activities famous is the perfect scenery you are going to enjoy during your gliding. You will have an opportunity to enjoy Fethiye, Ölüdeniz, and many other areas from the sky and feel as free as a bird! You do not have to be a professional paraglider to enjoy this activity as well!
There are many tours in Fethiye and Ölüdeniz, in which you can glide in the sky together with an experienced instructor. All you need to do is attend 20 to 30 minutes of short briefing before you take off! So, here are the details you may want to know about this adventure and of course, the mountain itself.
Babadag Mountain is located in the Mediterranean Region of Turkey and unlike regular mountains, this one has two split summits. This is why it is also regarded as a chain mountain in the literature, but these two summits are quite close to each other.
The first summit, which is 1,400 kilometers in length is also known as Karatepe, and its literal translation is Black Hill. A valley of flood passes between two summits and both summits is calcite.
Since Kartepe is only 5 kilometers away from the sea, it is one of the best destinations for paragliding in the world. The area is often preferred by all visitors in Fethiye and Ölüdeniz and getting to the top of the mountain often takes between thirty minutes to forty minutes in total.
Babadag Mountain is located in the Fethiye District of Muğla city, and it is one of the most beautiful attractions in the area. Besides its paragliding opportunities, the area is also famous for its natural beauty and attracts millions of visitors for various activities such as hiking and paragliding.
The distance between the mountain and Dalaman Airport is only 50 kilometers and it is 225 kilometers away from Antalya Airport. If you would like to get to the mountain, you can rent a car, prefer private tours, or simply prefer one of the public transportation means.
For this purpose, you can find minibuses that head to the mountain from Ölüdeniz or Fethiye. In general, it will take about half an hour to get to the mountain. Moreover, if you purchase one of the paragliding tours, most tour companies will take you to the area with their private transfers.
Considering its 1,400 meters height, Babadag Mountain is often cooler than the district center. This is why if you are planning to spend time on the mountain, we recommend bringing some long sleeve apparel to avoid catching a cold.
Most people who are planning holidays in Turkey often consider visiting the mountain for paragliding activities. We highly encourage you to enjoy this adventure, which will offer you a unique scenery you cannot experience elsewhere.
However, if you are not interested in paragliding, you can also explore plenty of hiking routes in the mountain. Other than these two alternatives, there are not many activities you can engage in on the mountain. However, you can always visit Fethiye or Ölüdeniz for more!
Babadag Mountain paragliding activities are organized from various heights. These range between 2,000 meters and 1,400 meters. Participants can be total beginners, who have never enjoyed such an adventure before.
All paragliding activities are carried out by certified and experienced flight instructors and all the participants should do is enjoy their time in the sky. In general, you will be provided with quick and brief instructions about what to do or not to do during your tour. This takes between 10 to 30 minutes in total. Later, you will be completely ready to go together with your instructor!
Those who are planning their holidays in Turkey might already be excited to experience this unique adventure! It is worth noting that this activity is offered every month of the year as long as the wind will be suitable for paragliding.
Babadag Mountain paragliding height varies between 2,000 and 1,400 meters. However, most tour companies offer 2,000 meters for a better and prolonged experience for their customers. You can quickly find dozens of tour agencies at Fethiye and Ölüdeniz to book your flight!
