Getting there
From Agrinion to Agios Konstantinos where you turn to head to the church of Agia Paraskeui. Continue all the way up, until take off.
Weather
At late afternoon, breeze usually turns from NW direction resulting in mild lee conditions. Time for landing, except you own 100 m or more of hight over take off. Then you can easily gain more hight, though a bit bumpy conditions.

Comments
Though slope relatively low, it's the first slope that the usual W or SW breeze meets coming from the westerly flats. Comfortable soaring conditions or even high thermals, almost all the year. Easy take off and landing. Before you low just under the rocks situated under take off, you must head for landing.
