Tandem skydiving
Tandem skydiving from 14,000 feet over Kopaida Airfield, about 1.5 hours from Athens, with up to 60 seconds of freefall and a certified instructor.
A tandem skydive is the most intense thing you can do in the air near Athens. You jump from a plane at 14,000 feet, strapped to a certified instructor, fall freely for up to 60 seconds and then float down under the parachute for 5 to 7 minutes, with wide views over Boeotia.
Where is the drop zone?
At Kopaida Airfield near Kastro in Boeotia, about 1.5 hours by car north west of Athens. Plan for about 2 hours at the airfield, including the briefing, the flight up and the landing.
Do you need experience?
No. Before the jump your instructor explains the body position and what happens at each stage. During the jump the instructor handles the exit, the parachute and the landing.
Who can jump?
Adults and teenagers whose harness fits, with parental consent under 18. The maximum weight is about 85 kg. Tell us about any health conditions when you book.
Can you get a video?
Yes. Photo and video packages filmed by the instructor or a separate camera flyer can be added when you book.
What about the weather?
Skydiving needs clear skies and light winds, so the jump time is confirmed at booking and can move on the day. If it cannot go ahead, you choose a new date or a refund of your deposit.
