Arriving in a new country (Türkiye) it can be daunting so I decided with the bad weather and cloudy days. I would make a quick video for paraglider pilots, so they know some information before arriving.

Price of Teleferik (cable car) ticket may vary but when I went up the lady said 310 Try Turkish Lira.

The bus is only 15 try (Turkish Lira) from Oludeniz bus station to Teleferik Station.
If you take a taxi expect much higher prices. 60-80 Try (Turkish Lira)

Cable car takes 29 mins to 1700 metres. During the busier times of the year (Summer) you dont need to change cable cars at 1200 and can stay in cable car to the 1700 metres. But during off season when you get to 1200 metres you need to exit that cable car and join at the next one.

Note: If you talk with the many tandem operations in the main street, you can hitch a ride with them in their vans they charge 100 Try (Turkish Lira) they will then stop for you at the Teleferic and you can run out grab your launch tickets show QR code and then get back to the bus and they will drive up the back side of mountain, this takes roughly the same time as the cable car but they will drop you off at the site that is active for that time. If doing this remember that they are a tandem business and you should limit any issues with them, get to the bus before passengers and load your gear on bottom and then when on top on launch you will be last off the bus. If you work around these guys, they will help you spread your wing on launch because you are showing respect. After a few days people start to know your face and it gets easier because they then know you are a pilot who is switched on.

Landing: What I also found upon landing is not to call out to the tourists this gets them scared like a rabbit in the headlights and they can run all sorts of directions, I normally just land behind them and not warn them but prearrange my heading so not to hit them from behind. Once you Yell out they can cause serious issues for you, Try it.
