Overview

Discover Crete from a completely new perspective on a magical hot air balloon flight above the breathtaking Lasithi Plateau. Surrounded by mountains, fertile fields, this unique landscape offers one of the most beautiful views on the island.
Your experience begins early in the morning as the balloon is prepared for flight. After a short safety briefing, you’ll gently rise into the peaceful sky and enjoy panoramic views of Crete’s stunning countryside. Floating silently above the plateau at sunrise is a truly unforgettable moment.
After landing, celebrate the flight with a traditional Greek breakfast box filled with local flavors. In classic ballooning tradition, you’ll also enjoy a glass of sparkling wine and receive a personalized flight certificate as a keepsake of your adventure.

Wear comfortable clothes, a light jacket. Because ballooning depends on the weather, your flight may be rescheduled if conditions aren't safe, but your safety always comes first.
