Unforgettable experience - A magnificent experience that we will not forget!
An early morning wake-up call worthwhile to contemplate the beautiful landscapes of Greece on our way to the Lasithi Plateau, accompanied by two very pleasant framers.
Once arrived, the setup is quick and impressive for a first.
The balloon is directed in a very professional and gentle way to enjoy all these beautiful landscapes in privacy. In addition, on the occasion of a birthday, bouquet of flowers and photos were at the rendezvous
The good surprises don’t stop here, since we had a delicious breakfast in an idyllic setting afterwards, then always return trip in the right atmosphere.
Thanks again to all the Viva Let’s Fly team for your work and your good humor!

A Moment We'll Never Forget - I’m so glad we did this — no regrets at all! George and Nerjus were amazing, so friendly and kind, and their smiles just made us feel instantly at ease. The view was breathtaking, the silence up there was so peaceful... everything felt just perfect. It honestly felt like time stopped for a little while. Such a beautiful, unforgettable experience.

Unparalleled experience for our 25th anniversary. If you want something special then this experience - We were able to start our 25th anniversary with a wonderful balloon ride. It was an incomparable experience. The whole team at VIVA let’s FLY was fantastic. We felt super looked after around. Whether it was the unproblematic pick-up from the agreed pick-up point, as well as the information about the plateau while driving there. Then, of course, the highlight with the construction of the balloon. We may enter it while it was inflated with the fan. And then the flight. We felt very safe. Thanks to the whole tram for this beautiful day!!!

Wonderful experience - My husband and I did the air balloon over Crete. It was awesome . There were six off us in the basket. It was a beautiful day , sun and no wind . Our pilot Serghei and George were so friendly. Serghei explained everything to us from beginning to end . They took photos from beginning to end and sent them to us after the flight . We were picked up from the hotel and back . Breakfast was very nice too. Serghei is a great pilot cause he made the flight so smooth that you didn’t feel like you were in an air balloon .

Ballon experience with amazing views - Had a great experience in an amazing location. We have never done anything like this before and were made to feel very comfortable and safe during the whole experience.
The setup of the balloon was as much a part of it as the flight and was impressive to see and be a part of.
The flight was great giving 360 panoramic views over the plains and beyond out to sea.
George the crew member and Nerjus our pilot were so nice and professional throughout.
The breakfast location was stunning and a great finish to the experience.
