Paragliding · Delphi
How to choose
Both tours are operated by Paragliding Fun, priced at 150 € each, and rated 5.0/5 across 9 reviews. The difference is purely geographic. Tour 0 launches from Agia Efthymia village and puts you directly above the Gulf of Itea, trading altitude for a dramatic coastal panorama over open water. Tour 1 departs from the entrance to the Delphi archaeological site, positioning you above one of the most iconic mountain landscapes in Greece, with the Parnassus slopes dropping sharply beneath you. Both run 1h and welcome all fitness levels. Pick Tour 0 for a sea-and-cliffs sensation, pick Tour 1 if the mountain void is what you're after.

Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch. You run a few steps off the slope and the ground disappears beneath you in under two seconds. After that, the thermal lift does the work and the pilot manages altitude while you absorb the view.
Do I need any experience to fly tandem?
None at all. Both tours are rated 'Everybody welcome' by the operator. You sit in a harness in front of the certified pilot, who controls the glider the entire time.
What's the difference between flying over the Gulf of Itea versus flying over Delphi?
The Gulf of Itea flight gives you a coastline perspective with open water below. The Delphi flight puts you above steep mountain terrain, the archaeological site and the Pleistos valley gorge. Two very different visual experiences at the same price.
How long are you actually in the air?
Each session is 1h total, which includes ground briefing and gear-up time. Effective airtime varies with thermals and conditions on the day, which the pilot will assess before takeoff.
When is the best time of year to book?
The season runs May through September. Thermal conditions in central Greece are typically strongest in July and August, which means more lift and potentially longer airtime, but also peak demand. Book at least two weeks ahead in summer.
