Trois Îlots

Trois Îlots, formerly a sub-sector of Gerakios, is now a highly popular stand-alone crag which is especially busy during peak season. It is a long area of cliffs extending to the right of Gerakios Main. The cliffs are mostly vertical, but they were camouflaged under dense vegetation for years. Then, starting in 2014, Claude Idoux began to clean away the lush rock and a limestone treasure emerged. The rock quality is exceptional, and some of the best mid-grade routes (6a–6b) on Kalymnos are here, which, to a large extent, explains the sector’s popularity. CLIMBING: Technical, well-bolted, footwork-heavy routes on a wonderful variety of rock types, plus five multi-pitches going all the way up the cliff face.
