Fethiye, Turkey

Fethiye, Turkey, a jewel on the Mediterranean, consistently beckons those who seek to meld the thrill of adventure with breathtaking natural beauty. As its turquoise waters lap against verdant foothills, a different kind of spectacle unfolds overhead. This coastal haven, widely recognized as a global epicentre for aerial sports, offers an unparalleled vantage point from which to experience the majestic panorama of its landscape, a promise encapsulated by the sight of human-powered flight against an infinite sky.

The video shows a clear blue sky with wispy clouds. There are four paragliders visible, spaced out in the sky. One paraglider is red, another is purple and green, one is very small and pale, and one is a light shade of red. Someone is heard shouting in the background. At the bottom of the frame, a dark green mass is seen, which could be trees or a hill.

The day of May 16, 2026, unfurled under an impossibly clear, cerulean sky over Fethiye. The first aerial adventurers made their appearance just after noon, around 12:23 PM, as two distinct paragliders – one brilliant yellow, the other a deep blue – were sighted gracefully navigating the air currents above a verdant, bushy hillside, a solitary transmission tower providing a terrestrial anchor to their silent flight. This initial glimpse, confirming the summary's observation of two gliders over the Fethiye hills, was merely a prelude to the day's unfolding spectacle.
