A hot day with my better half on a trail called Ladies Only! Lots of woodwork on this trail...

Most of the year, this log bridge goes over a huge pond that is NOT fun to fall into!

Now your feet are back on the ground, this is probably a good time to mention that tandem flights in Olu Deniz is a cut throat business, with skinny profits & so the gliders which btw, degrade over time in sunlight. are often hammered all day long with questionable maintenance, the pilots have a reputation for being a bit on the gung ho side & it's not unknown for punters to be left on the side of the mountain in bits while everyone argues over who's paying for the rescue helicopter.

I didn't want to spoil your holiday by telling you all this before you went but I could tell you tales about flying around that place that would make your toes curl. 😬

Yes everything in Oludeniz is a tad gung ho and lawless but that’s kind of it’s appeal and why we keep coming back 😆🤘🏼

Dead right Tubs, it's a brilliant spot. 👍If you're still there, ask about if anyone remembers Gustave the tandem pilot, that will keep you entertained for hours on end. Trust me on that one. 😀

Olu Deniz

My goodness, that takes me back.
Imagine how gung-ho and lawless it was 30+ years ago.
There was bugger all there back then, except a couple of bars playing nowt but Tarkan. Absolutely Ace 😆
