Daniel Craig jumps off 1960m-high Baba Dağ in the latest James Bond film Skyfall and so can you. The descent from the mountain can take up to 40 minutes, with amazing views over the Blue Lagoon, Butterfly Valley and, on a clear day, as far as Rhodes.
Various companies offer tandem paragliding flights, but prices can vary between TL120 and TL150. Just ensure the company has insurance and the pilot has the appropriate qualifications. Reliable companies include Easy Riders and Pegas Paragliding. Parasailing (TL100) on the beach is also possible.
