Which Flight Take-off Site Do We Recommend in Uçmakdere, Tekirdağ?
Uçmakdere is one of Turkey’s most popular paragliding areas. There are two main take-off sites here with different altitudes: 250 meters and 650 meters.
So, which one is more suitable for you? Let’s evaluate them together.
🪂 250 Meter Take-off Site – Short Trial Flight
-
🕒 Average Flight Duration: 3-5 minutes
-
⏳ Limited time for parachute control, acrobatics, and detailed video recording
-
👤 Ideal for guests who want to fly for the first time and say, “Let me experience it first”
-
⚠️ Many people may feel “I wish I had jumped from the peak” after the flight
This take-off site is a short but enjoyable introductory flight for those with a fear of heights or first-time flyers.
🪂 650 Meter Take-off Site – A Real Flight Experience
-
🕒 Average Flight Duration: 10-15 minutes
-
🎥 Opportunity for long videos and plenty of photos
-
🔄 Offers many experiences such as acrobatic maneuvers, thermal catching, and parachute control
-
👥 Perfect for those who truly want to feel and fully experience paragliding
-
🪂 If you wish, you can also experience short-term parachute control in the air
This take-off site is our first choice for those who want to increase the excitement, stay in the air longer, and get their fill of the sky.
📌 Which One Do We Recommend?
If you’ve never flown before and just want to satisfy your curiosity, the 250-meter take-off site can be a short start.
However, if you truly want to experience the feeling of paragliding, have a longer flight, and get great views:
✅ Our Recommendation: The 650-meter take-off site!
Bonus: More Memories, More Adrenaline
When you fly from 650 meters:
-
📸 You get longer videos and plenty of photos
-
🌤 You can gain higher altitude by catching thermal air currents
-
🌀 Experience peak adrenaline with optional acrobatic maneuvers
Conclusion: The Choice is Yours, The Sky is Ours!
Both take-off sites are safe and conducted with our professional pilots.
However, we recommend the 650-meter peak flight for those who want to truly “experience” the flight, not just “look” at it.
