Has anyone had any experience of gliding in Turkey? I'm going to the Dalaman area on holiday in July and if possible would like to go gliding.

Anyone know of any clubs in the area? And if so what the likelihood of being able to fly there is? I'm willing to drive for a few hours if necessary.

Thanks.

My first GA flight was a 30 minute tandem paraglide from 6,000 ft up Babadag to land on the beach at Olu Deniz. Unforgettable.

Give these folks a call:

Thanks. I am more interested in sailplane flying, but I'll speak to these guys and see if they know anything.

This article (http://www.glidingmagazine.com/FeatureArticle.asp?id=512) isn't giving many hopes with only 2 active places, however it is quite old. I saw the Yalova arifield in a summer 2008 trip to South, and it had gliders flying right at that time.
