Hot air balloon trips in Athens    

Athens Hot air balloon trips

Hot air balloon trips are very popular in Athens, and you can revel in this fantastic sport throughout the year. Even though most people have never even been up close to a ballon, those who have taken off in one remember this great experience for years!

Hot air balloon trips can be had by young and old alike. Most trips last nearly an hour, but check with the pilot to find out what's available. Some have different offerings to buy from.

What are the ropes for?
The crown line on top of the balloon is used to stabilize the balloon during inflation. "Tether lines" are used to tie the balloon down for display purposes. A "drop line" is sometimes released by the pilot just before landing so the ground crew can pull the balloon to a desired location.

Can we fly at a balloon festival?

Check with your local balloon company to see if you can get your balloon ride during a nearby festival. Flying at a festival is a unique experience, and is one that you don't want to miss if possible.

Each festival has their own rules, and many do not allow paid passenger rides for several reasons, including FAA restrictions or insurance concerns. Some festivals, however, not only allow passenger flights but encourage spectators to fly by selling balloon rides at the festival.

Preplanning is the key - you'll want to know well in advance if you can fly at the balloon festival you plan to attend.

As you search for Hot air balloon trips in Athens, remember that your flight may be rescheduled if conditions are bad. Don't expect to fly if it is windy or poor visiblilty. Bring your camera and plenty of film, since you'll take many more snapshots than you require.
