Skydive Efes

About Skydive Efes

Skydive Efes is the skydiving centre of the Turkish Aeronautical Association (Türk Hava Kurumu), based at Selçuk-Efes airfield near the ancient city of Ephesus. It offers tandem skydives for first-timers and an accelerated freefall training programme for people who want to take up the sport. A tandem jump needs no previous training or certificate: after a 15-minute briefing you jump harnessed to an instructor from 4,000 metres, falling for about 45 seconds at 200 to 220 km/h. Once the parachute opens you glide for around 15 minutes with views over Ephesus and the Aegean Sea. Jumps are filmed by aerial camera operators and the footage is handed over afterwards, with professional filming included in the price. The accelerated training programme leads to a licence that the centre says is valid at drop zones worldwide; applications go through the THK trainee system. Good to know: - Jumps depend on the weather, and the jump time is confirmed the day before or on the morning. - Bookings are by phone or WhatsApp on +90 540 945 19 25 or by email to [email protected]. - The website lists a tandem jump price of 24,000 Turkish lira, with a group discount for four people.
