Northern Greece Beginners Camp Thermal/XC

The best cross-country flying area in Greece is located in the north, protected by high mountains and within the influence of the continental climate. Reliable thermals and near-perfect topography create the ideal terrain here for beautiful thermal flights and creative XC adventures. Thanks to a large difference in altitude between the take-off and landing field, there is plenty of time for a comfortable entry into the first thermal.

On this tour we have two main focuses: Firstly, we focus on learning and improving thermal flight skills. We’ll show you how to move around the terrain to find thermals. Then we practice techniques to get the most out of the thermals.

We place a second emphasis on planning and executing carefree cross-country flights. Together and in radio contact, we try to draw a beautiful flight in the northern Greek sky every day.

In easy-to-understand briefings in the morning, we provide you with relevant theoretical basic knowledge before you while observing how to create the perfect thermal circles in the updraft. The learning process is rounded off with individual and general debriefings.

As always, the focus is on the fun of flying. At the same time, it is our ambition to improve the flying skills and theoretical understanding of every pilot. If you’ve had enough of cranking, just stop by the pool and enjoy the Greek hospitality.
