DESCRIPTION

The flight can take some time. It has the advantage of very good thermal currents across the big mountain crest with a fantastic view of west Peloponnese and the Ionian islands. A cross-country flight can be chosen: the pilot can take routes: to the southeast for Skaidovouni and then onto Erimantho-Helmo-Ziria and further on should he choose to. It is the perfect place for competitions and a lot have taken place in the past from the Paragliding Club of Patras. The longest flight in Grecce (Santomeri-Asprokampbos) has been achieved here
