💡 Tips
Mrs Kalin
I fly.
2000 meters above the sky, waiting for the wind...
I won't forget the wind at this moment
I won't forget the feeling at this moment
I won't forget the moment I ran out and jumped
The wind gently swept across my face.

💗 Other tips: Fethiye has three major paragliding companies: Gravity, Hector, and Reaction. There are many flight instructors. If you want to experience paragliding, you must first sign a "life and death agreement". So if you want to play, make up your mind before you jump. Before skydiving, each friend must first sign a skydiving activity agreement, which includes the skydiver's basic information, physical condition statement, and liability statement. This is simply a "life and death agreement"! In fact, although such a serious statement is signed, it is still very safe. Paragliding usually takes about 40 minutes in the air.
Food: Fethiye is dominated by fish as the most common cooking ingredient, combined with herbs and vegetables from the Aegean and Mediterranean regions for a unique flavor. Local chefs often use herbs, wild mountain delicacies, and onions to stir-fry, then season with tomato sauce and pepper. At the Balikpazan Fish Market, you can buy a variety of seafood and ask the restaurant to cook it for you. In the Paspatur market, there are many fish and grilled meat restaurants where you can enjoy delicious food while admiring the surrounding scenery.

Turkey Fethiye → The best place in the world for you to soar in the sky and dive into the sea
Turkey 🇹🇷 Fethiye, located 135 kilometers southeast of Marmaris, has an important pier at the end of the bay, with many small islands scattered within the bay. At the top of a small hill, there are remains of a fortress from the Crusades, offering a panoramic view of Fethiye.
Global tourists come here mainly for skydiving and swimming in the Dead Sea.
Speaking of the Dead Sea, everyone must think of the one near Israel, which has no life due to excessive sea salt and can make the human body float on the surface. Actually, Turkey also has a Dead Sea! The southern part of Turkey has a long and winding coastline. Near the ancient town of Fethiye, the coastline curves into a large bay. Here, the waters are calm, peaceful, and serene. This place is known as Turkey's Dead Sea, also called the 'Water Wealth'.
Legend has it that in ancient times, ships sailing on the high seas would pass by this place. The handsome son of an old captain took a small boat here to fetch water and met a beautiful girl named Besak, falling in love with her. One day, the ship encountered a storm. The young man told his father that there was a harbor to shelter from the wind, but the father thought he just wanted to see the girl and didn't really care if the ship would sink. They argued, and the father accidentally knocked his son into the sea. When the father regained his senses and calm, he found himself in a calm harbor. He realized his son was telling the truth, but it was too late. His handsome son had died, and the beautiful girl, upon learning this, was heartbroken and jumped off a cliff to her death. From that day on, this calm harbor began to change its water color constantly to commemorate the young couple. The Dead Sea got its name from this tragic love story.
Now, Turkey's Dead Sea has become the most famous natural seawater bathing place and seaside resort in southeastern Turkey. It is especially worth mentioning the paragliding here. From the high mountains of 1300 meters to 2000 meters, you can glide with the unique U-shaped parachute of the Dead Sea, accompanied by white clouds and seabirds, overlooking the entire Dead Sea. It's fresh and exciting!
