About this experience

Paragliding in Vlychos is a tandem paragliding flight launched from the hills above Vlychos beach on the island of Hydra. The activity offers a motorless descent over the Saronic Gulf, with landing on the pebble shore near the harbour. Flights operate in calm morning winds and are guided by a certified local pilot.

What to expect

  • Flight duration is 15 to 25 minutes, depending on thermal conditions and wind direction.
  • The package includes a tandem harness, helmet, and a pre-flight safety briefing from the pilot.
  • You launch from a grassy slope at 120 metres elevation and soar over the turquoise water of Vlychos bay.
  • During the flight, you see the Hydra coastline, the 18th-century monastery of Profitis Ilias, and the island's donkey paths below.
  • The activity suits first-time flyers and those with no prior experience; the pilot controls takeoff and landing.
  • Landing occurs on the beach at Vlychos, within a 5-minute walk of the waterfront tavernas.
