Paragliding Greece

Archiv für die Kategorie „Fluggebiete“

In the first week of March 2013 Rüdiger, Michael, Karl-Peter, Edgar, Daniel and Jürgen came to fly with us at Mount Olympus.

The pilots could fly almost every day in a fascinating scene from different take-offs. They enjoyed flights from the Little Church with landings at the beach after soaring the castle, thermalling from Kalivia with take offs at 1550 and 1250 m just below the snow of the highest peaks of Mount Olympus, just have a look at the pictures!

Olympic Wings wishes all pilots, friends and your families a Happy New Year 2013 with a lot of great, enjoyable and safe flights!

On 01. January 2013 we had a nice New Year flight to the beach, following our tradition.

In the first week of January Wolfgang and his pilots from the Austrian paragliding club „Hohe Wand“ came to us and started our paragliding holidays season 2013.

The Alkionidis Days during the first half of January bring nice, warm and sunny weather to Greece.

The pilots enjoyed some great thermalling flights with XC from Kalivia at Mount Olympus.

Some days with northern winds provided thermal conditions at the Little Church with flights over the castle and landing at the beach.

The group of Flugschule Göppingen spent a great time in the beginning of November at Mount Olympus with thermal flights from the different sites around Mount Olympus.

An excursion to the worldfamous Meteora Monasteries with some flying at the hills of Farkadona on the way towards the monasteries and a trip to the hot baths of Aridea for relaxation were other highlights of the holiday.

Thank you for the beautiful pictures: Klaus Irschik & Mark Schlüter

A great paragliding week with interesting thermalling and XC flights around Mount Olympus.

The Swiss pilots flew from almost all our sites: Little Church, Krania, Litohoro, Kalivia, Sikourio and Kalipefki.

On some days they flew from three different take-offs, following the sun from east to west.

All pictures by Renato Berner, thank you!

Renato made with his pictures a great documentation of his three cross country flights:

• from Krania back to the beach of Neos Panteleimonas – a morning flight from an eastern take-off along the north east side of Kato Olympus
• from Kalivia at the south side of the main mountain of Olympus along the valley of Karia – here he reached the sea side of the mountain on top of the cloud base – until the beach of Leptokaria next to the hotel
• from Sikourio in Kissavos mountain he crossed the valley of Tembi with great views until the sea and on the river Pinios below
