 General information
GPS coordinates : take off : 38°32'0" (38.5334)N; 22°23'22" (22.3897)E - Elevation : 326 m.
landing : 38°31'42" (38.5285)N; 22°23'43" (22.3954)E - Elevation : 157 m.
Take off : 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.
Landing : There are (at least) two landings. One at the base of the hill (not for beginnners) and one across the main road in the big industrial area.

There are electricity cables and high voltage pylons around which are not dangerous as long as you notice where they are and keep them in mind.
Going 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).
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.
Weather hazards : The usual.
Flight regulation : On weekdays it is possible that fighter jets fly around the valley.
