Frequently asked questions
How long is the actual flight above Kathisma Beach?
The full experience is 1h, which includes briefing time with your pilot. Airborne time depends on thermal conditions on the day, but both operators are based at Kathisma Beach, one of the most consistent launch spots on Lefkada.
Do I need any paragliding experience?
None. Both flights are tandem, meaning a certified pilot handles all controls. The physical level listed for both tours is 'Everybody welcome', so age and fitness are not barriers.
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch. You run a few steps off the hillside above Kathisma Beach and the ground drops away instantly. After that, thermals over the Ionian Sea keep you airborne and the intensity shifts to the view below.
When is the best time to fly in Lefkada?
The season runs May through September. Thermal activity is strongest mid-morning to early afternoon in July and August, but summer crowds can be high. June and September offer reliable conditions with fewer people on the ground.
Are the prices per person?
Yes. The 120 € price for Dream Paragliding and the 130 € price for Fly and Fun are both per person for a tandem flight.
