Travelers
Discover Crete from a completely new perspective on a magical hot air balloon flight above the breathtaking Lasithi Plateau. Surrounded by mountains, fertile fields, this unique landscape offers one of the most beautiful views on the island. Your experience begins early in the morning as the balloon is prepared for flight. After a short safety briefing, you’ll gently rise into the peaceful sky and enjoy panoramic views of Crete’s stunning countryside. Floating silently above the plateau at sunrise is a truly unforgettable moment. After landing, celebrate the flight with a traditional Greek breakfast box filled with local flavors. In classic ballooning tradition, you’ll also enjoy a glass of sparkling wine and receive a personalized flight certificate as a keepsake of your adventure. The journey continues with a pottery workshop guided by local artisans. You’ll also have the opportunity to visit a mythological museum and discover the ancient legends that shaped the island’s culture.

Lassithi Plateau
At the appointed time, you will meet «VIVA let's fly» team near the Lassithi plateau. Then, transfer by company minivans to the takeoff place. You will be involved in the preparation of the balloon for the ride: unpacking the balloon, preparing the basket, inflating the balloon with cold and then hot air. Shortly before the takeoff, our pilots will make a safety briefing. As soon as the balloon is upright, the pilots will invite you to the basket for the takeoff. Flight duration is 40 minutes to 1 hour. Of course, under certain weather conditions, this time can change both to shorter or longer. After landing, you and the pilots deflate the balloon and pack it back into the trailer. When the balloon and its parts are packed, you celebrate the flight with a glass of sparkling champagne. This tradition is an essential part of hot air balloon ride!
