Paragliding · Arachova
The essentials
Paragliding Fun runs one tandem flight here: a 1-hour session launching above the Delphi archaeological site at 190 €, open to everyone regardless of fitness level. The pilot handles all the technical work, so your only job is to look down at one of Greece's most iconic ancient sites from altitude. Book in advance for the May-to-September window, and confirm your exact meeting point at Stavros Arahova via the map link provided at booking.
The offer
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch off the ridge is the sharpest adrenaline hit: zero to full glide in a few running steps. After that, the thermals above the Delphi valley keep you airborne for up to an hour of open-air exposure.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Most first-timers report that the fear of heights feels different in a harness than on a ledge. You're suspended, moving, and focused on the view of the Delphi ruins below rather than a static drop. The 5/5 rating from all 3 reviewed flights suggests passengers landed satisfied.
What's the full cost, and are there hidden fees?
The price is 190 € flat. Confirm directly with Paragliding Fun what is included (typically the tandem flight and equipment) and whether transfer to the Stavros Arahova launch site is covered.
When is the best time of year to fly here?
The season runs May through September. Summer mornings typically offer the most stable thermals over the Parnassus massif, while afternoon flights can benefit from stronger lift. Check conditions with the operator when you book.

Practical info
Equipment
No gear required: Paragliding Fun provides the harness and all flight equipment. Wear closed-toe shoes with ankle support and bring a light windproof layer, since temperatures drop noticeably at altitude even in summer.
Getting there
Head to Stavros Arahova for the meeting point and use the exact map coordinates provided by Paragliding Fun at booking, as the launch site sits above the village and is not walkable from the main road without directions.
