Rock Climbing | Kalymnos - Meteora
When it comes to rock climbing, Greece is unique. Thanks to the temperate climate, you can be actively involved year-round in the sport. More importantly, the rugged landscape of the land offers a variety of options (examples are limestone, caves, and marble), and so many curious geological formations to explore on all fours. Kalymnos island and Meteora in Kalambaka are two very unique locations for rock climbing which are a must to visit.
Kalymnos Island
Just before 2000, Italian climbers visiting the island realized the richness of its rock formations, and laid down the first routes. Kalymnos is one of the best organized climbing locations, probably in the world, which is why it’s very safe. It’s a perfect paradise for climbers.
Meteora
Serene, spiritual, magical, mystical, extraordinary, breathtaking, immense, inspiring, impressive. These are only some of the words people very often use in an effort to describe the Meteora phenomenon. The enormous, imposing boulders of Meteora in central Greece attract all kinds of tourists, and sport climbers are no exception. The six rock pillars on which the monasteries rest are off limits, but there are more than 100 others to climb.
