Pounta, Agia Triada

  The take off from Agia Traida belongs to the municipality of Diakofto, above the village of Trapeza. It took its name from the homonymous historical monastery dated back to the Middle Ages. It is at an altitude of 660 meters, co-ordinates UTM 34S N x: 606604 y: 4224721 and you can fly with a Northeast breeze from April until September.

  It is a twenty-minute drive from the crossroads Pounda-Kalavrita and the national motorway Athens-Patra. You get to the village of Trapeza (leaving behind your friends on the beautiful beach of Pounda) and you follow the signs that take you to the Monastery. After the village the road becomes a dirt road with very sharp upgrading bends.
 
  This take off area has just been added to the club. The local members of the club upgraded the area and the first flight took place in August 2000. There is a kiosk and benches and offers a beautiful view of the Corinth gulf. It is a rather difficult flight, because there is no inclination and it is only for experienced pilots.
 
  The flight is absolutely beautiful if you gain height you can admire St. Nicholas Plateau. This has its difficulties because if you dont gain height straight away, you must aim to land on the beach of Pounda immediately (take care off the people sunbathing!) and there are no alternative landings.
