Co-owned and run by professional pilots Extreme Paragliding is based in Izmir and Olu Deniz. The company was formed in 1993 and has evolved into one of Turkeys premier paragliding Centers. Originally established to enable anyone with a spirit of adventure to fly safely in 'tandem' with a qualified paragliding pilot. Relatively new in Turkey as a tourist sport solo paragliding in Olu Deniz is for qualified pilots only many of whom are now discovering this corner of the Mediterranean. The logistics of the terrain around Olu Deniz make it unsuitable for training. However, we can arrange courses in Izmir just a few hours north of Olu Deniz, where confidence and experience can be acquired in a gentler environment

The sheer exhilaration of that first flight with an experienced pilot is just the beginning. Many tandem fliers go on to take up the sport seriously and eventually to obtain their paragliding pilots license. The thrill and solitude of flying solo beckons, you just need a spirit of adventure and tuition from dedicated professionals, to be there.

The safety aspects of any potentially hazardous sports is always the foremost consideration for beginners. It is for this reason that Extreme have qualified Pilots and use only modern, internationally approved equipment. All activities are covered by full insurance underwritten by the international Commercial Union company
