Pissouri

Name: Pissouri paragliding site
Address: CY

North-east-facing ridge site · 128 m takeoff

Overview

Pissouri is a hill site in Cyprus with a recorded launch elevation of 128 m. It works best in north-easterly winds, and can also work in easterly winds. Pilots fly it for ridge soaring, using foot launch.

A site that hasn't been used for many years under reinvestigation for use. Between Limassol and Paphos it is close to the sea, so any thermalling will probably be prevented by sea breeze. Source: ParaglidingEarth
