Cyprus Paragliding Online

Hello
and welcome.
I have created this site for informative purposes due to the increasing demand
from pilots around
the globe, for information about paragliding in Cyprus.
Ten
years ago, when I started flying paragliders, I wrote at this
welcome webpage Live Poker
Poker Room
"...Cyprus is not yet a paragliding “heaven” but many visiting
pilots have very good reasons why they want to come
and fly in Cyprus. There are not many places in the world where
in 30-60 minutes drive you can swim, windsurfing scuba dive, fly or
snow ski in the same day . Oh, I forgot to mention the more than 300 sunny days a year.Different place, different conditions, different weather,
different people...."
Today, we rediscovered paragliding in Cyprus and
the above statement is not valid. We found places for the
experienced pilots, with very good take off and landing skills in
the mountains of Cyprus that we fly now cross country flights in
the range of 15, 20 30, 40 and even 57 kilometres .These places
are thermic sites and we recommend to fly only with a local
experienced pilot. If not get an advice from the local pilots were
you can fly safely. There is a local flying community and a
paragliding and hanggliding club.
So welcome to Cyprus and enjoy safe flights in
the island of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love.

A
NEW SITE IS BORN- AYIA MARINA
A
new site is found. I have flown it today for first time ever.
The new site is only 15 minutes from Larnaca. It is situated on
a long ridge (altitude 350m asl - top to bottom is
about 100 meters) North of Larnaca between the village Avdellero
and Athienou. You can drive to Aradippou junction and then take
the road to Ayia Napa. Just after a couple of kilometres take
the exit to Avdellero village and Athienou and turn left. Follow
the road to Athienou and just in the middle of the distance between
the two villages there is a bridge. Just before the bridge
there is a sign for Ayia Marina church, on your left. Follow the
signs and after about 10 minutes of a dirty track you are on the
top of a long ridge of about 1.5 - 2 kilometres long. The
top of the hill is flat and suitable for top landing. Flying,
could be dynamic soaring or thermaling as you can take enough
height. The site is about 15 kilometers from the sea. Have a look
on the pictures below. Larnaca is on the ba ckground.
