Paragliding in Chora is a tandem paragliding activity launched from the hills above Chora, the capital of Kythnos island. The flight offers a thermic and ridge-soaring route over the Cycladic landscape, with the Aegean Sea and the island's whitewashed settlement below. Each session includes a certified pilot, all safety gear, and a pre-flight briefing on launch and landing procedures.
What to expect
- Tandem flight duration is 15 to 25 minutes, depending on wind conditions on the day of your slot.
- The launch site sits at 300 metres above sea level, giving a direct view of Chora's maze of alleys and the port of Merichas.
- You will be strapped into a harness with a dual-control paraglider, and the pilot handles takeoff, steering, and landing.
- The flight path follows the island's western ridge, passing over dry stone walls, chapels, and the rocky coastline toward Kolona beach.
- Suitable for first-time flyers and those with no prior experience; minimum age is 12 years, and maximum weight is 100 kilograms.
- The package includes a GoPro camera mount on the helmet, with the video file transferred to your phone after landing.
