Adventurous Paragliders Defy Ban at Antalya’s Konyaaltı Beach

Paragliders continue to visit Antalya’s Konyaaltı Beach variant observation deck despite it being prohibited. The deck offers a spectacular view, and with the arrival of autumn and stronger winds, it has become a popular spot for paragliders. These athletes, flying solo or in pairs, soar 200 meters above sea level, navigating the challenging winds along the coast. However, strong winds make takeoff and landing difficult, requiring multiple attempts for some. Onlookers capture their daring flights on mobile phones, leading to police intervention. Athletes who couldn’t land on the variant found alternative landing spots to avoid penalties.
