Tandem paragliding
Tandem paragliding near Athens with a certified pilot, from Kandili mountain near Megara or Kithaironas above Plataies. 20 or 40 minute flights, video included, no experience needed.
Paragliding is the quietest way to fly. There is no engine: you take off on foot from a mountain slope, harnessed to a certified tandem pilot, and glide on the wind and the rising warm air. You do not need any experience, and the pilot is in control from take-off to landing.
Where do we fly?
We fly from two sites, chosen by the wind on the day: Kandili mountain near Megara, about 45 minutes west of Athens, and Kithaironas above Plataies in Boeotia, about 1.5 hours away. Both give wide views over plains, mountains and, on clear days, the sea.
How long is the flight?
You choose a basic flight of about 20 minutes or a longer VIP flight of about 40 minutes. With the drive up, the briefing and the landing, plan for about 2 hours on site. A video of your flight is included.
Who can fly?
Most people aged 8 and over, up to about 105 kg. Under 18s need parental consent. You need to be able to take a few running steps at take-off.
What if the wind is wrong?
Paragliding depends completely on the weather. The pilot confirms the site and time before you set off, and if conditions are not safe you choose a new date or a refund of your deposit.
