Guide to bungee jumping in Crete
Crete has some great scenery and bridges for jumping
off, with a bungee rope attached of course! There is one main company that offers
bungee jumping on the island and this is serious bungee jumping of great heights.
There
are the likes of bungee jumping and bungee rockets at Star beach for the less adventurous
with heights usually that of crane used to suspend you over the sea.
For this article
we will be concentrating on the main bungee jumping that can be done in Crete from
a well known bridge called Aradaina bridge. View a few select videos from people
that have jumped from Aradaina bungee site in Crete and read the details below.
Bungee Jumps in Crete - Information
Aradaina bridge is 138 meters high and is located
near Sfakia in the prefecture of Chania in Crete. It is the highest bridge in Crete
and in fact the whole of Greece. It is also the 2nd highest bridge you can bungee
jump from in Europe.
The main company that does bungee jumping on this bridge is Liquid
Bungee, a very reputable firm with all the required safety certificates and licences.
This company set the Balkan record for the highest bungee jump within Greece and
have been operating since 1999 on the bridge in question.
The company starts doing
jumps from the Aradaina bridge usually at the beginning of June and finish up the
season in august. Jumps take place every weekend throughout the summer.
You can find
full safety information and contact details for the company who runs the bungee jumping
in Crete at their website here: Liquid Bungee. The bungee jumping pictures used
in this article are from the liquid Bungee website.
If its a spur of the moment bungee
jump in Crete your looking for then head over to the town of Hersonissos, at Star
Beach you will find the do the bungee rocket and bungee jumping over the main beach
area.
It works out much cheaper than Liquid Bungee in Crete but the rush and thrill
is not so high due to the fact its just a regular bungee jump from a much lower height
than that of Aradaina bridge.
For those that need to know about the safety aspect
of bungee jumping abroad then you can rest assured that Liquid bungee follows the
“Bungee Jumping Code of Practice and its internationally recognised in its field
for 100% safe jumping and the standard of material used.
