Uçmakdere is one of the most popular paragliding spots in Turkey. Thanks to its proximity to Istanbul, stunning views, and favorable wind conditions, it attracts significant interest from both first-time flyers and experienced enthusiasts.
Uçmakdere, located within the provincial borders of Tekirdağ in Turkey’s Marmara Region, is a prominent area known for its suitability for paragliding. Its steep slopes running parallel to the sea and the elevations behind them contribute to the regular and sustained formation of wind. This geographical structure plays an important role in making flights both safe and enjoyable.
The region generally exhibits transitional characteristics between the Marmara and Mediterranean climates. Summers are hot and generally dry, while winters are mild. Especially during the summer, sea-land temperature differences create thermal winds, providing suitable conditions for paragliding. In spring and autumn, the weather can be more variable; therefore, daily weather forecasts should be carefully monitored when planning flights.
