Yes,
they grew up in a military camp area, closed to stranger
by the nineties, and today they fly! Movie
The main event: PARAVIS
!
the International meeting of paragliders, has been taking
place on Vis for eleven successive years now (get involved
and apply for PARAVIS 2009 by the St. Nicholas Day on
6th December).
There are not less than seven appropriate starting points
directed to all directions of the world. The Mediterranean
climate allows 250 days suitable for flying. You can
fly for hours over Vis and Komia, over the sea and
along the rocky cliffs.
Lifting in thermal streams of higher levels and achieving
higher altitudes by means of floating play-out swirl
comprise wide enough para-range for experienced visiting
pilots. Not to mention flying over open-sea Palagrua...
For those without any flying experience we offer panoramic
flight in a tandem parachute
Try it ! Our pilots, paragliding
teachers, have undergone all extreme situations that you
will never encounter, for you don't fly in tandem unless
the weather conditions are optimal. You have already flown
in your dreams. Experience that on Vis, in a paragliders'
paradise.
