Paragliding HOME on
Crete
The
aim of ICNA is to give paragliding pilots, their families and friends
the opportunity of a life time! 
Accompanying you will be a fully certified Paragliding Instructor (Grigoris), who has full knowledge and experience of the Cretan mountains and terrain.Your companion is multilingual, and likes to meet and fly with international Paragliding pilots; he will show you and help you fly over the best flying sites in all areas of Crete, either soaring, thermals or XC. We will use some of the most beautiful accessible and less accessible flying spots on the island in order to increase your confidence, your airtime and your thermaling skills or simply just to have another nice flying day. We will fly with the Griffon vultures in the blue sky with unsurpassed sea-views! (Suitable for both experienced and low air-time Paragliding pilots). We follow a flexible daily programm that guarantees flying and serious fun, and we will also have the chance to meet other Paragliding pilots, local people and to exchange experiences and ideas. Friendship and companionship is the philosophy behind ICNA. It is not just based on commercial considerations! Discover Crete with its magnificent sandy beaches, its rugged mountains, and the primitive and quiet life of its country villages! You will experience a brilliant holiday in the air, along with other outdoor activities involving the natural environment. When the sun sets and the thermal activity is over you can set your altimeter to new upper limits, to the pulse of the Greek life. On the days that your family/friends don't wish to accompany you they will have a lovely comfortable holiday, sun bathing and swimming, in the relaxed atmosphere of the accommodation in the province of Iraklion.

News
update
The
Main site is no more safe!
We
have cancelled our activities as it is no more safe to fly in our
main site, since:
-Take-off
and landing are in
the near airport's airspace (CTR)!
-The
large and safe take off, is closed!
-All
traffic of the road to Lassithi is now diverted just in front of the
landing field. The works to expand the road has started (taking a
part of the landing field)!
-Power
lines are now just on the edge of the landing field
