Description
There are actually two launch sites at Kourion that are regularly used for paragliding. A brief discussion of them follows.
Armpit: This is probably the easiest launch and is the most often used. It is also the easiest to get to. But this launch should not be used when the wind is westerly because of turbulence, which can get very strong.
Lower Sand Pit: This is used when the wind becomes strong, or when a new pilot needs a less vigorous launch breeze.
