This video (April 2024) shows most of the info needed for flying Babadag; incl links https://youtu.be/26Dbc93jh2M?si=eM97QZHvWS3IF0HB (English translation available in subtitles)
Solo pilots are rather the exception here; this sometimes leads to long waiting times before launch (especially at 1200m), as the tandems have priority.

Access Notes
Normally via Dalaman Airport which is 1-1.5hr by car from Oludeniz (taxi or shuttlebus) Launch: 1200 and 1700: take-off areas can be reached directly by cable car. For 1800 and 1900 + departure areas, they need to use a transfer chairlift, which can be a bit difficult. This year the chairlift between 1800 -1900 is not working. You can reach the gondola station by taxi or minibus. The other alternative is to take the shuttle buses of the tandem companies directly to the takeoff area you want. Even if the mountain road is winding, it is more practical. Fees (cablecar, flying) for 2024 can be found in the video below.
