sunrise balloon flight

Mykonos is famous for its wind, so this flight only launches on calm mornings — but when the Aegean cooperates, it is the single most memorable way to see the island. A private transfer collects you before dawn, the crew inflates the balloon as the sky turns pink, and you drift silently over Chora’s windmills, Little Venice and a coastline of hidden coves as the sun comes up. Landing is followed by a traditional champagne toast and a flight certificate.
