Daily Edirne Tekirdag Paragliding Tour - Shared Group

Highlights of the Edirne & Tekirdag Paragliding Day Tour

Take to the sky above the Sea of Marmara on this shared Edirne and Tekirdag paragliding tour, an unforgettable small-group day trip from Edirne to the famous take-off ramps of Ucmakdere. Joining a group of fellow thrill-seekers, you drive across the Thracian countryside and then fly tandem with an experienced pilot from one of five mountain runways, soaring over forested slopes and a sweep of turquoise coast before a gentle landing on Ayvasil beach. It is a great-value join-in daily excursion for adventurers and a bucket-list flight for first-timers.

• Tandem paragliding at Ucmakdere — fly with a certified pilot from five take-off runways (200 m to 650 m) above Tekirdag
• Flights over the Sea of Marmara — soar up to around 1,000 m with sweeping views along the Thracian coast
• Ayvasil beach landing — touch down beside the sea with time for a swim after your flight
• Yenikoy and Sarkoy coast — the pretty coastal villages of the Tekirdag shoreline
• Free time in Tekirdag — relax, shop and explore the waterfront before the drive back to Edirne

Ucmakdere, between Tekirdag and Sarkoy, is one of Turkey's best-loved paragliding spots thanks to its steady sea breezes and a dramatic ridge that drops straight to the Marmara coast. Flights begin in the morning and continue through the day as conditions allow, with tandem flights typically lasting from seven to twenty minutes and climbing to as much as 1,000 metres depending on the weather. All flying equipment is provided and you fly securely harnessed in front of your pilot, so no experience is needed — just a head for heights and a love of adventure.

This daily excursion from Edirne pairs the historic Ottoman border city, famous for the Selimiye Mosque, with the wide-open landscapes of the Tekirdag coast. You are collected from your hotel in Edirne, driven to the Ucmakdere flying site, and after your flight and beach time you enjoy free time in Tekirdag before returning in the evening. A spectacular Edirne day trip and one of the most exciting daily tours in the Thracian region of north-west Turkey.
