Soaring above the Turkish Coast
The Turkish Riviera had always been on my bucket list, and truly lived up to the hype as the trip was a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty.
This Turkish adventure was where I experienced the most thrilling voyage of my life—paragliding over Ölüdeniz!
Flying Over Ölüdeniz: A Once-in-a-Lifetime Thrill
Standing atop Babadağ Mountain, nearly 2,000 meters above sea level, my heart pounded with a mix of excitement and nerves. Below me stretched the picture- perfect blue lagoon of Ölüdeniz, its turquoise waters shimmering under the sun. As my instructor counted down, I took a deep breath—and then, we were airborne!
The sense of freedom was surreal—soaring high above one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. The nightlife in Oludeniz was great as we enjoyed open-air clubs and sipping through cocktails under the stars!
Exploring the Turkish Riviera by Boat
After the high of paragliding, we slowed things down with a boat cruise to explore the hidden gems of the Aegean. The waters of the Turkish Riviera are dotted with secluded islands, hidden coves, and stunning beaches, perfect for a day of relaxation and adventure.
Sailing across the crystal-clear waters, we stopped at several beautiful locations:
- Butterfly Valley – A secluded paradise surrounded by towering cliffs, accessible only by boat.
- Nicholas Island – An ancient island with Byzantine ruins and incredible sunset views.
Between stops, we swam, kayaked and lounged on the deck, soaking up the sun while enjoying delicious Turkish mezze and fresh seafood.
