A shallow breeze lifts as you walk the short, gently sloped path to the takeoff ridge above Kyrenia. From roughly 750 meters elevation, tandem pilots clip you into a harness and the ground slips away—olive terraces and the harbor’s pale curve shrinking beneath a wide, blue Mediterranean. The flight settles into an effortless glide: cliffs pushing thermals that let you drift over sea and stone, pilots pointing out coastal promontories and castles below.

A shallow breeze lifts as you walk the short, gently sloped path to the takeoff ridge above Kyrenia. From roughly 750 meters elevation, tandem pilots clip you into a harness and the ground slips away—olive terraces and the harbor’s pale curve shrinking beneath a wide, blue Mediterranean. The flight settles into an effortless glide: cliffs pushing thermals that let you drift over sea and stone, pilots pointing out coastal promontories and castles below.
Kyrenia (Girne) is a town shaped by centuries of seafaring and fortification; the harbor and castle you glimpse from the air trace Lusignan and Venetian chapters of the island. Geologically the north coast is limestone folded into ridgelines that funnel predictable updrafts—why pilots favor the hills above Kyrenia for consistent tandem launches.
Expect a tailored experience: calm nature glides for steady observation or dynamic runs when thermals are lively. Flights finish with a controlled touchdown at a private coastal landing zone where crews meet you. Operators often include photos/videos and basic flight insurance; bookings ask for height, weight and passport details to confirm safety limits.
Practical tips: arrive with sturdy shoes for the short hike uphill, dress in layers—temperatures are colder aloft—and secure sunglasses. Weather rules the schedule; operators will cancel if winds or rain make flying unsafe. For first-timers this is an accessible, low-impact way to see Cyprus from a vantage few visitors enjoy, pairing stirring views with clear safety protocols and local knowledge.
No—these are tandem flights flown by certified pilots; passengers do not need prior experience.
Operators require height and weight at booking and may refuse passengers above safety limits; disclose pregnancy, spinal or cardiovascular issues when booking.
Flights are weather-dependent; operators will cancel or reschedule if winds, rain, or unstable thermals make flying unsafe—cancellations usually follow a 24-hour refund policy.
Many operators offer high-resolution photo and video packages for purchase or as an add-on; check your booking confirmation for what’s included.
