About the activity

Take your holidays in Crete to the next level and enjoy scenic views of the island during a 15-minute tandem paragliding flight over Chania. With the beautiful coastlines and mountains at your feet, live an incredible experience and fly in total safety with an expert instructor over Chania and Balos lagoon, in the northeast of the Island.

Chania, a town in the northwest of the island, is famous for its Venetian harbour, narrow streets, and restaurants on the water. In addition to discovering this pretty town, paragliding in Chania should be at the top of your list while in Crete! It's an incredible, totally safe, and fun experience you shouldn't miss!

For your tandem paragliding experience, you don't need to have any prior experience or be particularly sporty. Thanks to experienced and passionate instructors who will ensure a safe tandem flight, you can fully enjoy the amazing feeling of flying and the great views of Crete and its coastline. All you need to do, is bring comfortable clothing adapted to the weather, and closed shoes, since you can'd fly with sandals or crocs.

Crete is known for its strong winds. Therefore, depending on weather and wind conditions, you will take off from either Falasarna or Varipetro, a mainland mountain. Your instructor will let you know which one it is before the flight.
- Falasarna: If it's a west wind, you'll take off from Falasarna, one of the most famous beaches in Crete, on the west coast of the island. You'll take off from a height of 250m (820ft), and with good thermal conditions, you might even have the chance to fly over the magnificent Balos lagoon.
- Varipetro: Otherwise, you'll start from Varipetro, a mainland mountain, at 500m (1600ft). Here you will admire incredible views over the north coastline, Chania city, Souda bay, and a small lake. If thermal winds are on, you can reach a height of up to 1000m (3200ft).

Don't miss your chance to glide among the clouds with an incredible view and an expert instructor who will take care of everything. Book your paragliding flight over Chania, in Crete, today!

This was the highlight of our trip to Crete. From take off to touching down, you will enjoy the most beautiful views. Taking off gets the adrenaline running, and then sit back and enjoy the ride.
