Take-off description
This is a small training hill site (TO to landing ljust under 200 metres). Take off can fit around 3 paragliders. You can drive all the way to take off on a dirt road.
Getting there
From the Amfissa-Lamia road (heading north), turn left towards the Amfissa football and indoor basketball complex, drive past the football fields and drive straight up the hill. Just before the top, you need to turn right (if not, you end up above the take off after a hundred metres or so, simply reverse and turn right).
Weather
The usual.
Rules / airspace
On weekdays it is possible that fighter jets fly around the valley.
Comments
Easy site as long as you keep an eye on cables. Normally ridge soaring, sea breeze comes in quite predictably when sunny. Sometimes, when thermic, it is possible to climb high, join the mountains behind or across the valley and go XC.
