Helicopter Ride to Meteora , un unique phainomenon with stone giants and humble hermits.
A forest of mind-bending stone monoliths rises perpendicular to the flat valley north of Kalambaka, south of the Pindus Mountains. Monasticism here began in the 11th century with the first hermits arriving in Thessaly from Mount Athos to retreat to niches in these heavenly pillars. In the 14th century, the Blessed Athanasios of Meteora founded the first monastic community here in the monastery of the Great Meteoron. Other monks followed from other corners of Greece, creating a total of 20 monasteries.

You can carry electronic cigarettes including e-cigars and other personal vaporizers containing batteries, for personal use, in your carry-on baggage only. It is prohibited to include electronic cigarettes in checked baggage.

Recharging of these devices and/or batteries on board the aircraft is not permitted and you must take measures to prevent accidental activation. Spare batteries must be individually protected to prevent short circuits by placing them in the original retail packaging or by otherwise insulating terminals by taping over exposed terminals or placing each battery in a separate plastic bag or protective pouch and carried in carry-on baggage only.

In addition lithium batteries are subject to the following conditions:

According to the latest safety regulations in most airports worldwide and for security reasons, Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 can neither be carried on your personal hand luggage in the passenger cabin, nor in a suitcase in the luggage compartment, as it is considered a hazardous material.

Landing off-airport is one of the benefits of helicopter transport, but there are several factors that determine whether we can fulfill a customer request for direct-to-destination services. Our first consideration is always safety.

Helicopter company requires 1 working day to accommodate an off-airport landing request, if the zone has not been pre-approved. That gives us time to thoroughly investigate the landing zone and secure the necessary permissions.

An off-airport destination must always have a pre-assigned alternate airport. Even if the landing zone has been approved, the Pilot-in-Command (PIC) may decide that current conditions aren’t conducive to safety. The PIC always retains the right to refuse an off-airport at any time up to the actual landing, in which case the flight will continue to the alternate airport. The client will be responsible for ground transportation if the PIC chooses to land at the alternate airport for safety reasons.

Off-airport landing zone

Here are the criteria that determine the usability of an off-airport landing zone:

*The minimum area must be at least 50ft x 50ft. There are no exceptions.
*The zone must have minimal slope and terrain variations.
*There must be a safe approach zone that can accommodate variable wind conditions and a go-around.
*The zone must be free of trees, light posts, obstructions, bushes, high grass, fences, buildings, vehicles, people, or livestock.
There must be a method of restricting pedestrian access to the zone during landing and departure operations.
If the area is larger than 150ft x 150ft with no obstructions, good approach access (for variable winds) and has good pedestrian/vehicle separation from the landing zone, it is almost always usable.
