Mimmo and his pilots from Italy – Lago Maggiore & Florence – visited us in November 2014 at Mount Olympus.

They enjoyed great flights with thermaling at Kalivia, beach landings with swimming in the sea from the take-off Little Church and smooth sunset flights at Mount Olympus.

An unique culinary experience were grilled lamb on spies and fresh fish on pine wood fire in a mountain taverna. A days excursion to the famous Meteora Monasteries and a visit of the archaeological site Vergina were the touristic highlights.
