Flying Sites at Mt. Olympus
Our flying area covers the three mountains of Pieria in the north, Olympus and Ossa / Kissavos in the south – forming a long range just along the coastline of the Aegean Sea and separated by impressive valleys. Olympus with its highest peak Mytikas – 2.918 m – is the highest mountain range in Greece and the famous seat of the Greek Gods.
This region divides naturally into two very distinctively different landscapes: The gentle and green northern slopes next to the sea and the dry and arid southern region towards the flatland.
If you are an experienced pilot the south will offer you fantastic cross-country and thermalling opportunities. Less experienced pilots will enjoy dynamic soaring on the northern slopes. There the mild conditions are ideal for your first experience with thermal flights.
Whatever your experience level is, we will match it with our flying sites and local weather conditions to ensure enjoyful and safe flying.
We carefully chose 8 different sites covering 15 take-offs for all wind directions. This ensures that on a daily basis we can match wind directions and flying conditions with a suitable flying site.
