Overview

The rugged landscapes of Crete are spectacular—but many of the island’s most dramatic views are hard to fully appreciate from the ground. This small-group hot-air balloon experience lifts you above the Lassithi Plateau for sweeping aerial views of mountains, villages, and farmland. After helping prepare the balloon and completing a safety briefing, float peacefully above the plateau before celebrating with a glass of Champagne and breakfast at a local tavern once you land.

Enjoy unparalleled views of Crete from a unique vantage point
Relax within a small-group setting with a capped number of travelers
Toast your journey with Champagne and a delicious breakfast

Friendly team punctual and good sense of humour. Absolutely great experience. Views were breathtaking and the morning mist gave a truly magical feel to the flight. The breakfast afterwards was very tasty. Highly recommend this.

My husband and I did the air balloon over Crete. It was awesome . There were six off us in the basket. It was a beautiful day , sun and no wind . Our pilot Serghei and George were so friendly. Serghei explained everything to us from beginning to end . They took photos from beginning to end and sent them to us after the flight . We were picked up from the hotel and back . Breakfast was very nice too. Serghei is a great pilot cause he made the flight so smooth that you didn’t feel like you were in an air balloon .

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Laila, thank you very much! We're really happy you enjoyed the flight with us!

Perfect!

Everything about this experience was exceptional. From the booking to the preflight information, the day itself, the flight team, to the breakfast. I can highly recommend a great experience and photos to remember.
