Daily Microlight Flight Tour from Oludeniz – Ovacik & Taurus Mountains

Microlight Flight Day Tour from Oludeniz over the Taurus Mountains

A microlight flight from Oludeniz is one of the most memorable ways to see the Turquoise Coast from above. Seated in a light, open aircraft beside an experienced pilot, you lift off near the village of Ovacik and enjoy wide views of mountain ridges, forested valleys and the Mediterranean shimmering on the horizon. This short daily excursion fits easily into a beach holiday and needs no flying experience at all.

Day Trip to Fethiye from the Greek Islands (Rhodes)

Guests staying on Rhodes can enjoy the Microlight Flight Tour as a day trip from the Greek islands to Turkey — from Rhodes the ferry takes about 85 minutes, so the excursion can be planned between the morning and evening sailings. Pickup is at the Fethiye ferry terminal, and the tour is timed so you can catch the return ferry comfortably. For longer itineraries we check the ferry timetable first and confirm that the full programme fits your day. Please bring your passport and check the Turkish entry requirements for your nationality before travelling.

• Hotel transfer: pick-up from your hotel in Oludeniz and return afterwards
• Take-off near Ovacik: departure from a site close to the hillside village
• Taurus Mountains: fly above the western ranges of the Taurus chain
• Mediterranean panorama: sea views stretching along the coast of Fethiye
• Experienced pilots: a professional instructor at the controls throughout

Ovacik lies on the green plateau just above Oludeniz, between the resort and the town of Fethiye. From here the aircraft climbs over the foothills of the Taurus Mountains, the long limestone range that runs parallel to the southern coast of Turkey and drops steeply into the sea in this part of Mugla. Below you are pine-covered slopes, small farming villages and the curve of the shoreline, while ahead lies the open blue of the Mediterranean. Unlike a closed plane, a microlight gives you an unobstructed view in every direction, which makes it a favourite with photographers.

This daily Oludeniz tour is graded easy and is suitable for most guests in good health. Wear comfortable clothing, bring sunglasses and secure any loose items before take-off. Your experienced pilot stays at the controls for the whole flight, so all you need to do is relax and enjoy the view. As a compact Oludeniz day trip, the whole day tour, including transfers, takes around two hours, leaving plenty of time for the beach afterwards.
