Fly-in at Kavala LGKV, Greece
 
here

I went in 2009 and hope to be there.

I expect to arrive in Sitia on 5th June...wonder if there's scope for combining!

Edit: A quick look at the map suggests not!

1284nm.

I could do it nonstop, though not with meaningful reserves given that no possible alternate will have avgas :)

1 stop in say Croatia is fine. I planned that in 2009 but quickly found out that I could not make it in 1 day due to airport opening/closing times. But this time round they have extended the hours so it can be done. However I plan to be in the area anyway.

You will enjoy Sitia - a lovely place :ok:

Wouldn't Portoroz LJPZ make a good place for refuelling?

Yes, down the Adriatic you have your pick of excellent GA airports:

Ljlubjana
Portoroz (I am going there)
Pula
Losinj
Brac
Split
Dubrovnik

Then you have Pristina (Montenegro) which I cannot speak for.
Tirana (Albania) has no avgas, and I don't recommend staying the night ;)

Then you have Kerkira/Corfu (get written PPR always) which is the traditional customs+avgas entry/exit point for Greece.

But for Kavala you don't want to go via Corfu; too much out of the way. Slovenia or upper end of Croatia is better. Losinj is a lovely island.

And, the best bit, all the above avoids refuelling in Italy ;)

I'm planning to refuel in Italy; I fly there now in confidence knowing what a friendly and helpful guy AfricanEagle is :ok:

The plan is Portoroz on 26th May for ~ 2 days, then Kithira LGKC.

I'll be there again this year. It is nicely set up by resident Egnatia Aviation.

I just turned green with envy -looks like a great trip with a fantastic destination. (I also like the bit about fireworks being fired at and by the aerobatic team :eek:)
