Non Flyers & Other Activities

 

At Flying-Paradise we have about 1 to 3 non-flying days a month.
No sitting in front of the television for you though! We have many other interesting activities to entertain you.

Non flyers

Epidavros - Click on the picture to enlargeNon flyers are welcome at Flying-Paradise. You will be staying in a beautiful location, with a stunning outlook, but we can further enhance your stay with the following:

By tradition each non-flyer can have a tandem flight free of charge (40 € participation for children, from 6 years old).

We have at your disposition free of charge the following:

  • 10 mountain bikes
  • 3 tandem canoes (for beginners or children)
  • 5 solo and 1 tandem kayaks, great fun but a bit more technical)
  • 10 snorkelling equipments
  • 10 wet suits
  • juggling gear, unicycle, walking ropes etc.

The canoes are very stable and very easy to use by everybody. You can take them to go to the under sea ruins and then use the snorkelling gear there.

Kids

The beach is right by the hotel, so they can spend most of the day in the sea, or play in the hotel grounds which are free from car and very safe.
We have at your disposal, car seats (for the minibus), push chairs and even a baby carrier for the trek addicts. Let us now what you need during your booking. Christophe can take children on tandem from the age of 6 (40 € participation) .

Places to visit

Twice a week we have a day trip, free of charge if more than 4 people (flyers or non-flyers).
The Epidavros theatre & Nafplio can be visited in two half days or in just one.

Click on the picture to enlargeEpidavros theatres: There are 2 ancient amphitheatres, both still in use in the summer. One is 10 minute walk from the hotel can seat 1000 people and was discovered in the 80s.
The second one is the most famous and is 15 minute drive through the mountains. It can seat 12000 people. There is nice field right next to it which we regularly use to land!

Nafplio, a very charming old town, with its flowered paved roads which will lead you to the steps (950) of castle of Palamidi. If you prefer you can enjoy the old town, do some shopping & meet us at the tavern later.

Hydra (day trip). A beautiful rare island, where the habitants refuse to have roads and cars. A place where, when the locals go to the continent to buy a fridge, they ask the weight first and not the price because it's going to be carried on a donkey!!!

Methana (day trip) That’s actually more of a trek. About 2 hour walk, from one side to the island to the other side. We reach a summit from where we have a stunning view on the next two islands. It is possible to enter the volcanic tube, and see the awesome power of nature. This walk is 25 minutes away from the road.

Ancient Corinth & citadel (day trip) This is the biggest citadel in Greece. Situated at the highest point in the area, we can actually see 2 continents separated by man's work; the canal of Corinth that we will visit later that day. Below the citadel are the ruins of the ancient city of Corinth that we will visit and have a meal near by.
