Just above the water park in Varipetro. About 10 min drive from Kato Stalos. The road up to the start is somewhat difficult to find, I don't think I'll try to give an accurate description. Call local pilot Yiannis who is more than happy to guide you. Tel +306944658219. One should be aware that conditions can change very abruptly here, the day's wind usually "sets" between 10 and 12. Most often completely quiet from the morning, and then the wind comes within 5 minutes. Nice thermal site, but don't start too early in the day as the wind can come on suddenly.
