Surprise Flying Tour with Olympic Wings

This tour takes you paragliding at remote new flying areas with a surprise itinerary specially designed by the Olympic Wings team.

We visit destinations in Greece that offer great thermal and cross country flying over original landscapes plus coastal flights with impressive sea views – not missing a day of flying.

Flexibility and organizational backup, to combine areas across regions with minimum transport time further based on the weather allow us to meet each flying site at the best conditions.

We not only retrieve you after landing but most important support you from our own experience with key information to understand and make the best use of the local weather systems and cross country route options with safety.

Pilots flying with us experience thermal technical flying in addition to smooth flights into the sunset. 

A holiday nonetheless, we travel comfortable through welcoming villages and small towns. We rest nicely in newly-renovated hotels and high quality guesthouses with fresh breakfast, near the sea or on the mountain near the take off.

Suggestions and tips for lovely meals every evening from local-made products to enjoy in a relaxing ambiance.

Greece is a country with a rich natural environment on a grand European peninsula that dives into the Mediterranean sea, surrounded by thousands of floating islands.  

The mainland, primarily covered by mountains yet crusted by endless coastline, has an original beauty where the co-existence of rock, forest and sand alternates in unique ways.

High mountains expand through the whole of Greece, some reaching into the alpine zone, some forming long mountain ranges that circle field lands and track routes of rivers or shelter lakes. 

The highest mountain in Greece is Mount Olympus at 2.917 m. in north central Greece, also Olympic Wings’ home mountain.

Olympic Wings est 1995, a professional flying host with years of experience, successfully runs paragliding seminars and events, paragliding holidays and flying tours across Greece.

We specialize in the paragliding organization and support for our pilot-guests so as they fly high, fly safe and always land gently!
