Greece

As a climbing destination, Greece is mostly known thanks to Kalymnos, the ‘gold standard’ of sport climbing worldwide. Beyond Kalymnos, the cliffs in the rest of Greece remain a well-kept secret. Most climbers don’t know that Greece actually features several world-class sport crags combining Kalymnos-quality cliffs with beautiful countryside, blue skies, and no crowds. Since the early 1980s, I have been one of the lucky few to explore and enjoy the mountains of this wonderful, sunny country, and this guide is the byproduct of 35 years of devotion to the Greek cliffs. I dreamt about writing it for years, whether climbing, bolting, teaching or just ‘cragspotting’. I am thrilled that the Greece guidebook has finally become reality! The author - Aris Theodoropoulos
