Climbing

During  the  last  few  years  a  big  interest  in  climbing  was  developed  in  Kalymnos.

Two  climbers  from  Italy, who  accidentally  visited  the  island, discovered, to  everybody’s  surprise, the  big  and  various  climbing  possibilities  in  the  mountains  of   Kalymnos. Since then, there  has  been  a  large  inrush  of  climbers.

Routes  were  opened  and  organised  mainly  in  the  north  of  the  island. These  routes  have  been  given  names  from  the  Greek  Mythology  (Odyssey, Muses).

 

 

 

  A  climbing  school  has  been  established  with  the  aim  to  educate  Kalymnian  climbers, to  maintain  the  safety  of  the  routes  in  the  area  and  to  renew  them.  

         

 

Kalymnos  has  one  of  the  safest  and  of  the  most  excellent  quality  climbing  field. The  climate  of  the  island  is  ideal  for  this  sport, throughout  the  year  (from  March until  the  end  of  October ), it  is  shady  enough  and  it  doesn’t  rain  often.

 

 

                 

            Therefore, for  those  of  you  who  are  keen  on  climbing,

 Kalymnos  is  a  real  challenge.
