Athens Balloon rides

Balloon rides are popular in Athens, and you can delight in this spectacular sport year around. Regardless of the fact that many people have never even been up close to a lighter than air craft, those who have taken off in one remember this marvellous experience for years!

Balloon rides can be had by everyone. Most trips last just about an hour, but check with the tour company to find out what they offer. Many have different flights to select from.

What are envelopes made of?
Rip-stop nylon is the most common material. Polyester and other fabrics are sometimes used. The lower portions around the opening are usually made from a fire resistant material like Nomex, similar to what race car drivers and firemen wear.

What is it like flying in a balloon?

You'll be amazed the first time you go for a balloon ride! The feeling is unlike anything else. It is very calm and serene, and not frightening at all. The view is spectacular, and depending on the location of your balloon flight, you're likely to see local wildlife as never before. It is very quiet except for the occasional WHOOOSH of the burner, and you can talk to people on the ground!

The 360 degree view is spectacular as you drift silently above the world. You may brush gently through the treetops or soar thousands of feet above the earth; either way you'll be thrilled at the peace and serenity of your adventure.

As you look for Balloon rides in Athens, realize that your charter might be rescheduled if weather is unsafe. Don't expect to fly if it is poor visiblilty or too hot. Bring your camera and lots of film, since you'll take many more snapshots than you require.
