Leonidion composes one of the most popular climbing destinations in Greece. The history of climbing began in the middle of the 1980’s with the major sector of action the one of the Red Rock. The years that passed by had little climbing action and after 20 years Leonidio started getting back to the spotlight of climbing.
Today, Leonidio is regarded as one of the biggest in development climbing areas in Greece and Europe as it enumerates over 800 routes with a range of difficulty from 4a to 9a.
The mild climate and the high quality of limestone give the possibility of opening up new sectors and routes. The orientation of the sectors varies. The fields/sectors that are in the area of Leonidio have mostly a southern orientation. There are also sectors in more shadowy areas even for the warm days of the summer. A big number of rocks suitable for bouldering are also in the ravines of the area, waiting to be discovered. Try the experience of climbing in Leonidio.
