The offer
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the jump?
The freefall immediately after exiting the aircraft at 3,500 m. You're in full freefall for roughly 20-30 seconds before the parachute deploys, which is where the full adrenaline hit lands.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
At 3,500 m, there's no visual reference to the ground the way there is on a cliff edge. Most first-timers report that the fear of heights feels different, and far less intense, than expected once you're in the aircraft door.
Is there a weight or age limit for this tandem jump?
The listing states 'Everybody welcome,' but contact Skydive Greece directly to confirm specific weight and age restrictions before booking, as these vary by operator and are safety-critical.
What languages does the instructor speak during the jump?
Briefings and in-air communication are available in English and Greek.
