North Cyprus’ spectacular landscape and year-round warm climate makes it an ideal for paragliding. Most paragliding companies offer both tandem-flying for beginners and longer paragliding holidays, where you can learn to ride the thermals and enjoy the freedom of the skies. Most companies also collect and return passengers to and from Girne to the main take-off site, which is just west of St. Hilarion Castle, as well as providing full English-language instruction and insurance.
If you prefer to go solo flying in North Cyprus, you must team up with an established company, who will give their names to the authorities, and fly with a local guide. These companies offer equipment rental, and provide up to four flights a day, weather permitting.
