The best seats in the house are in the sky and a tandem flight will give you much more than any viewpoint ever will!

How to get to Myrtos Beach

Most adrenaline junkies will choose to hire a car, motorbike, moped or quad bike / ATV to explore the beautiful beaches, viewpoints and quaint villages across the island. We were tempted by a Kawasaki motorbike, but the winding roads and long drives meant that practicality won, and we rented a convertible. Check out Bike Booking to see what options are available.

Some of the most popular places in Kefalonia are Argostoli (the capital), Lassi, Assos, Skala, Sami and Fiskerado. Because of the meandering roads, you can expect at least 45 minutes to drive to Myrtos beach from Argostoli. Even longer if you’re staying further south than the capital.

It is easiest to book on the day by approaching the team parked up near the toilets and changing facilities. The friendly staff will explain what they provide and costs, as well as put you at ease if you’re a little nervous. 

After making the nail biting decision to jump off a mountain, you need to decide for how long. 

As of 2023/2024 the cost for 20 minutes of Myrtos beach paragliding in Kefalonia is €160

The jump times will also be determined by the weather as if there isn’t much wind, they will find it hard to stay in flight for the full 30 minutes. However, the team will advise you of what is possible on the day. All jumps included a go-pro video provided by the instructors and put on an SD- card to take home. If possible, check this when you land to ensure that it has been captured correctly. 

What to expect from the paragliding experience

Once at the jump Location, you will pair up with the relevant instructor based on height and weight. You will be ready to glide following a safety briefing and instruction of the dos and don’ts. 

This beautiful beach looks even better up high so take in the views/shots before you make the jump.
