A Dream of Flight Realized
For thousands of years, humans have looked up to the skies, dreaming of flying. From the myth of Icarus and Daedalus to the magic carpets of folklore, flight has captured our imagination. Now, you can make that dream a reality, soaring like a bird over landscapes that have inspired awe for millennia.

A Modern Magic Carpet Adventure
If you've ever dreamt of flying like Icarus or Daedalus, drifting high above ancient lands, now is your chance. With a paraglider as your modern "magic carpet," you can glide over the breathtaking archaeological site of Delphi and its surrounding cliffs, experiencing flight in one of Greece's most beautiful and historically rich locations.

A View Like No Other
Just a few hundred meters from the edge of Delphi lies the launch point for this unforgettable adventure. Here, you’ll ascend alongside sheer cliffs, their raw beauty both wild and breathtaking. As you glide, sweeping views of Mount Parnassus, the expansive Gulf of Corinth, and the sprawling olive groves below—home to over a million ancient trees—unfold before you. Far beneath, the Mornos River winds through the landscape, creating a scene as tranquil as it is dramatic.
