Oludeniz - situated in the heart of 3000 years old Lycian Nappe and many natural wonders- has become a very important venue for tourists from all over the world, thus being protected from wide-scale development, since the opening of an international airport (1984) at Dalaman, 55 km away. The whole area has been designated as a national park due to the outstanding beauty and  endemic species.

Oludeniz has become a very important paragliding venue for pilots from all over the world. It is now famous for its excellent flying and good weather, as well as all the benefits of a beautiful beach, great hotels, restaurants, shops and the wonderful hospitality of the Turkish people! Since it's a  friendly small town it takes a few days to meet most of the locals. Many pilots have also taken the opportunity to complete a safety training course using the unique height over the picturesque turquoise Mediterranean Sea. The course teaches pilots to recover from deliberately induced deflations, stalls and spins over the relative safety of the water. In addition to experienced pilots visiting Oludeniz, many holidaymakers throughout the summer have had their first experience of paragliding whilst flying tandem with Escape.
