Skydiving and Paragliding in Crete Guide
The perfect way to see Crete is paragliding or parasailing through the sky. The
island of Crete is naturally windy taking the coastal breezes and making paragliding
a perfect pastime in Crete.
There are a few companies in Crete offering this service
and usually in the area where the cliffs and hills are high enough to get a good
starting vantage point. Here at Holidays2Crete we are a great fan of parasailing
and have provided a few videos of parasailing or Paragliding on the island.
If this
isn't enough for you then you can now go Sky Diving in Crete with a new company that
has just been established in Crete. Parachuting is perfect for extreme sports lovers.
Paragliding in Crete
Paragliding takes place on the south of Crete so booking a holiday
in the Chania area is worthwhile if your coming to Crete especially to go paragliding.
The
main company offering this service in Crete is ICNA they are fully qualified and
accompany you to the staging area and advise and help you into the air where you
can fly with vultures and soar over the mountains of Lassithi and Heraklion.
They
follow a flexible daily programme suitable for experienced fliers and low fly time
paragliders.
