Extreme Sports

1. Hang gliding - Paragliding

Live the dream of Ikaros. Feel like part of the Cretan sky by flying with us in the Amari area. You take off from the north side of Samitos Mountain (1014m altitude), which is located south of the Amari valley. You have a unique experience of flying above the Amari valley, which is surrounded by the Kedros Mountain, the Psiloritis Mountain and the Samitos Mountain. You land on the area of School Asomaton, which is full of clover.

Feel your adrenaline pumping but also the serenity of flying with a bird of prey over the mountains.
Enjoy the vast views of the valley and the villages lying on the slopes of the mountains.

Pregnant women and individuals with a recent surgery or serious health problems are not recommended to participate in this tour.

We provide the transfer and we lead you to the launch pad. You fly with your own equipment and under your own responsibility. We can arrange competitions for groups and a picnic or lunch in a traditional 'taverna' in the area.

This tour is only for experienced pilots.
If you are a beginner, you can come with us and learn more about the sport. You can also have your first lesson with us.
