Athens Hot air balloon rides

Hot air balloon rides are the rage in Athens, and you can savor this unique sport year-round. Regardless of the fact that many people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have flown aboard in one remember this outstanding experience for years to come!

Hot air balloon rides can be experienced by everyone. Most adventures last around an hour, but check with the tour company to find out what is available. Several have different packages to choose from.

Balloons are flown by a licensed pilot, who is assisted by a ground crew. The crew help assemble and inflate the balloon, and follow on the ground during flight. After the balloon lands, the crew packs up the balloon and everyone is taken back to the original meeting place.

Is Balloon Flight Safe?

Absolutely! While there is an element of risk in everything we do in life, flying in a balloon is inherently safe for several reasons:

• Pilots are highly trained and licensed by the F.A.A.
• Balloons are registered aircraft and must be regularly inspected by an FAA licensed facility.
• Balloons fly only when the weather is the best. You won't find anyone flying a balloon when weather conditions make it unsafe to do so.
• It is low and slow! There are few moving parts in a balloon - it is the simplest form of flight.

If you have any specific concerns, talk to the company you are considering flying with. They can tell you how long they've been flying and what their safety record is. They can also answer any specific questions you might have about your flight.

As you search for Hot air balloon rides in Athens, remember that your charter will be rescheduled if weather is less than perfect. Don't expect to fly if it is poor visiblilty or too cold. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll take many more photographs than you require.
