The Climbers' Page.
Kalymnos is among the most recently discovered climbers’ destinations, offering some of the most interesting routes for rock climbers all around the world. With 45 organized sectors at the moment available, fully equipped and safe (lime stone rocks, 550 routes varying between 1 to 7 slabs/pitches difficulty options from 4c to 9a), Kalymnos is a constantly growing climbers’ internationally renown spot.
Most of all the already equipped and organized sectors are located on mountains over the central and north-western coast of the island, around zones such as Emporios, Skalia, Arginonta, Kastelli, Armeos, Myrties and Massouri. So here’s a few reasons why Massouri and Ibiscus rmake an ideal starting point in Kalymnos for climbers as well:
-Ibiscus is at a few minutes walking distance from such sectors and routes as Kalydna, Poets, Iannis, Zeus and Gerakios.
-We are at a 10-15 minutes walking distance from such routes as Panorama, Grande Grotta, Spartacus, Afternoon, Jurassik Park, and Mouses.
-We are at a 10 minutes distance by bike, from routes such as Iliada, Odysssey Ocean Dream, School, North Cape just to mention a few of them.
- From that point on the road leads to more quiet and isolated villages and spots in the island such as Emporios, Arginonta and Skalia. Yet all of these places really deserve a visit in the first place for the astonishing sightseeing they all can offer, as well as for the lovely beaches and clear water that can be found there. By motorbike, the most distant among all these places will hardly be a half hour ride. Along those locations the routes to sectors such as Sea Breeze, Grey Zone, Helvetia, Start, Belgian Chocolates, Noufaro, Black Forest, Galatiani, Cave, The Seaside Kitchen, Skalia, Palace, Baby House, Kreissaal, are easily accessible.
-Within the Residence’s area you can find a bikes rent shop offering latest models of bikes and scooters at very intereting prices and including special offers and discounts. Check out their web page for online booking and more info.
- Among the villages and spots in the above mentioned zones, Massouri is certainly the biggest and better equipped center, in terms of info-shops, car & bike rentals etc, and Ibiscus is only steps far from any of them. By any mean, Massouri is the most convenient starting point for climbers wishing to explore and discover the ideal combination of adventure, weather conditions and sightseeing Kalymnos offers.
