Paragliding in Heraklion, Crete
Tandem paragliding in Heraklion offers one of the most unusual and memorable flying experiences in Crete. From our takeoff point, you’ll fly above a vast reservoir with a submerged village resting beneath its surface — and the Lasithi Mountains stretching across the horizon behind it.
No previous experience is required. You’ll be securely attached to a certified tandem pilot who handles the entire flight — allowing you to simply relax and take in a view unlike anything else in Crete.
Flights from €134 — video & photo package available.
Why Fly in Heraklion
Most people visit Heraklion for its history. Few see it from above.
Tandem paragliding in Heraklion takes you over central Crete’s most dramatic inland landscape — a vast reservoir, the ruins of a submerged village beneath its waters, and the Lasithi Mountains rising in the distance.
It’s a completely different perspective from our Chania flights — quieter, more unexpected, and genuinely unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere on the island.
Stable conditions, an experienced local pilot, and a view with a story behind it.
