PARAGLIDING
AND TEKIRDAG...
TURKEY’s
NEW PARAGLIDING SITE...
While
the wind whispers in your ears, you'll enjoy the
overwhelming panaroma. You'll fly with the birds in
the sky and embrace the deep blue sea.
Flying is freedom. You're only a few steps away from
freedom, challenging the forces of gravity.
The site, which was created at Uçmakdere following
initiatives coordinated by the Office of the
Governor of Tekirdağ Province, has the distinction
of being the only runway at the seashore in the
Marmara region. Pilots launch from the 600-meter
hill at Yeniköy and land at Ayvasıl in Uçmakdere.
One of the outstanding features of the takeoff hill
is that it allows takeoffs in northeasterly,
easterly, southeasterly and southwesterly winds.
Paragliders may stay aloft anywhere from
10 minutes to two hours.

The new site has already earned the admiration of
paragliding enthusiasts from Tekirdağ and
neighboring provinces who came for Hıdrellez
Culture Day and the 1st Uçmakdere Paragliding
Festival on 6 May. The festival was enhanced by folk
dancing displays, paraglider launches,
demonstrations by the Sailing Club and the
participation of local artists.
