Paragliding above Vlorë: Shashicë take-off, promenade landing

In few European cities can you land a paraglider on the seafront promenade: in Vlorë you can. You take off from the Shashicë hill above the city, fly over the bay with views of Sazan and glide down onto the promenade beach, to the applause of passers-by (guaranteed).

Direct booking with local operators: no hidden fees, free cancellation up to 48h before.

It's the quick option: the whole experience takes about 1.5 hours door to door, perfect if your day is full or you want to fly without dedicating half a day. The transfer from the promenade to take-off (20 minutes) is included, and after landing you're already downtown.

The Shashicë take-off works almost every summer day, with north or south-west wind. The flight is shorter than Llogara but the view over Vlorë bay from above — the promenade curve, Sazan island, the harbour — is spectacular in a different way: urban and maritime at once.

Frequently asked questions

Where exactly do you land?

On the Lungomare beach, in the equipped area in front of the bars. Friends can wait there and film your landing from below.

Can you do it in the morning then go to the beach?

Yes: by 11:00 you're already back on the promenade. That's this flight's big advantage.
