The offer
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch off the hillside above Kontogialos Beach. You go from standing still to airborne in a few running steps, and the ground drops away fast. After that, the flight levels out into a sustained glide with views over the Ionian Sea.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to skip this?
Fear of heights hits hardest on static edges like balconies or cliffs. In the air, with no reference point directly below you, most first-timers find the sensation surprisingly manageable. The physicalLevel is listed as 'Everybody welcome' for a reason.
How long are you actually in the air?
The flight duration is 30 min. That covers the full tandem experience from launch to landing, with your pilot managing the glider throughout.
When is the best time to fly in Corfu?
The season runs from May through September. Mid-summer thermals are strongest, which means more dynamic lift and longer potential glide paths. May and September offer calmer conditions and fewer crowds.
