Description - What to expect

First day - Tandem Paragliding adventure (two flights)

Tandem paragliding is easy and suitable for everyone to try. The only thing you need to do is run for a few steps to take off, and then you are up on the air. Your instructor will take care of the glide, and all you have to do is simply enjoy the views and the unique sensation of flying like a bird.

As you fly down towards the sea, marvel at the valley in between the mountain of Olympus and the Aegean Sea, and the long coastline of Leptokaria. You will land next to the famous medieval castle of Platamonas.

Second day - Match your mindset to the Elements!
