Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment of the flight?
Takeoff is the sharpest adrenaline spike: you run a few steps forward, the wing fills with air, and the ground drops away instantly. After that, the flight smooths out into a wide aerial view of Myrtos Beach and the Ionian Sea.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Most first-timers who report height anxiety on the ground say the open-sky sensation feels nothing like standing on a ledge. There's no structure around you, which actually reduces the vertigo effect for many people. The 5/5 rating across 21 reviews suggests the experience lands well across a wide range of comfort levels.
How long are you actually airborne?
The full booking is 1 hour, which includes briefing, gearing up and the flight itself. Actual airtime depends on thermal conditions on the day, which your pilot reads in real time.
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. It's a tandem flight, meaning the certified pilot from Kefalonian Paragliders controls the glider entirely. The physical level is rated "occasionally sporty", so you participate in takeoff and landing but need zero paragliding knowledge.
