Paragliding
This area is recognised
as one of the best locations in the
world to paraglide. The world
championships are held here and numerous
displays and events are held throughout
the year. You can have a go, just pop
down to the local town, and book it.
The company pick you up
from your apartment drive you up 6000
feet to the top of mount babadag. You
are given a briefing and an experienced
instructor will strap you into your
harness, recap over the safety
procedures, climb in behind you, and
when the wind is in the right direction,
and you give the 'good to go' sign you
take to the skies. It takes about 45
minutes to fly down to the beach, where
you land very gently on a grass area
behind the beach. The pilot videos the
flight, taking in the scenery and with
the aid of a large pole attached to the
video, videos back towards you, so you
can prove to everybody back home that
you did it.
The flight cost around £60 and the DVD
around £12-15. A once in a lifetime
experience you cant miss.
