General presentation

A week of climbing on the stunning Greek island of the Dodecanese archipelago, discovering its famous crags. Kalymnos is a Mediterranean climbing paradise with excellent limestone crags of all styles: grippy gray slabs, vertical walls with notches and drops, overhangs with canes, and the famous "tufa." With a perfect combination of adventure, landscapes, sea, and exquisite seafood, this place has it all.

In recent years, Kalymnos has increased its rock climbing offer and has become one of the most incredible spots in the world for this sport. It now has more than 85 different sites spread over 3km of coastline and can be reached by foot from the village of Masouri (where we'll stay) or by scooter in a few minutes.

There are options for beginners and experts, and the approaches are never long. Indeed, there are crags of excellent limestone (usually reeds) where you can find all difficulties (from 4a to 9a).

During the hottest hours, we can take advantage of the outstanding beaches and cool down in the clear waters.

Ous basecamp is in the village of Masouri, where we'll enjoy a breathtaking view of the islet of Thelendos. So get ready to relax, slow down the pace of life, and enjoy enchanting views and sunsets.
