Activity
Meet your pilot at the activity base in Drama for this tandem paragliding flight. Organised according to weather conditions on the day, this 15 - 20 minute scenic flight will set off from one of 6 locations across Korilovos, Pirgi-Petrousa, Panagia-Kefalari and Paggaio. Riding up to the take-off location together, start with a quick safety briefing and kit check before you practise your running series. Once you’re ready to go, all you need to do is take a few short steps before the canopy catches the updraft and you’re off the ground. From here, your pilot is in total control, gliding to higher altitudes to offer you the best views of the area’s mountains, plains, beautiful forests, tobacco fields, wineries, rivers and streams too. Once you have completed a full circuit of the route, you will gently descend and perform a soft landing in an airfield in the valley where your adventure will end.

Conditions
Operating throughout the year; the consistent thermals and prevailing winds off the coast make Drama one of the most popular and consistent paragliding locations. Due to weather restrictions, take off locations may be changed to accommodate. Sequential flights can be organised for groups depending on pilot availability.
