This early morning hot air balloon ride in Crete features a bird's-eye view to beat all others. You'll float through the sky on a 40-minute-long ride over Lasithi Plateau, spotting windmills, caves and more as the sun rises over the Dikti Mountains. After you've landed, you'll be invited to toast your experience with champagne and a Cretan breakfast in a nearby tavern.

Everything about this was brilliant. The staff were friendly, helpful and informative. The transfer was safe and comfortable. After the balloon flight we were taken for a local breakfast. Incredible experience. Would recommend to anyone!
