Overview

Petra Tou Romiou is a hill site in Cyprus with a recorded launch elevation of 91 m. It works best in south-westerly winds, and can also work in southerly winds. Pilots fly it for ridge soaring, using foot launch.

  • A small soaring site which can become restricted with multiple paragliders. The hill decends onto a main road with a cliff coming straight off that to the beach below. A stunning site, with beautiful shades of blue and green in the sea. Source: ParaglidingEarth
