Paragliding on Acheron - Fly over the legend with the Riverdream Club
Imagine flying over a river full of history, over slopes covered with century-old trees, with the crystal clear waters of Acheron spreading under your feet. This is exactly what Parapende with Riverdream Club offers you: an experience of total freedom, in one of the most enchanting and mythical landscapes of Greece.
What is paragliding?
Parapede is an aerial sport but above all a thrilling life experience. With the help of a light parachute and the push of the wind, the pilot (or the passenger in tandem flight) takes off and flies freely, enjoying the scenery from above, without engine or mechanical noise.In the case of Riverdream, the experience is designed to be accessible and safe even for beginners. Tandem flights are always accompanied by certified pilots, and the process is simple, completely safe and suitable for all ages (15+).
Why is the Acheron River so narrow?
Acherontas River is not just a landscape, it is a living legend. According to ancient Greek mythology, it was the river that connected the world of the living with the world of the dead. Today, this "river of sorrow" is transformed into a river of freedom and life, as under your wings you will see:
- The blue of the water merging with the green of nature
- The stony banks, the springs, the bridges and the gorges
- The unique morphology of Epirus, from a perspective that few have the opportunity to experience
