3 Balloon Flights in Crete Worth the Drive

3 tours

Crete keeps its best balloon flights spread across four regions and one very long coast road, so where you are based decides a lot. These 3 come out on top: price, running time, departure point and who each one suits.

Heraklion Crete: sunrise hot-air balloon over Lassithi Plateau, Greek breakfast, then an all-inclusive sunset catamaran with snorkeling, sushi, open bar.

“A dream come true! The hot air balloon flight has been on my bucket list and it was magical (I don’t even like heights). Sergey and his crew went out of their way to make sure we enjoyed every moment in the air and after landing enjoyed a small brunch at Elin Gas Station/Route 29, which was exceptional. We enjoyed every bite and the hospitality given from not only Sergey, but the owner made us feel special! We all left completely full. The catamaran that evening was just as enjoyable. The whole day was like a fairy tale and so relaxing. I would definitely do it again!!!”
