at the junction of Troulloi road and old road to Athienou,
turn left towards Athienou on the old road for about 3-4
kilometers and you will see the long white ridge on your left
hand side just above the Avdellero.In order to get to the top
you continue driving for another 2 kilometers and you will find
the old dirty track on your left just behind the the take off at
the top.Take care and drive slowly to the top especialy if your

There is a lot of clear
fields to land at the bottom but there is a lot of room for top
landing as well for those familiar with top landing skills.Take
care to land enough behind to avoid rotors near the
slope.The top to bottom altitude is about 150 meters.

you think that it is too windy to fly, it probably is - don’t
take off.
