A climbing trip is proposed to this beautiful, sunny Greek Island. We have booked for 10 days but there are daily flights so people can book more or less to suit. The usual route is a flight to Kos, then a 45 minute ferry across the Aegean to the pretty port of Pothia, followed by a further 20-30 mins to most Airbnbs and hotels.

The rock is beautiful (well I am biased having been there a number of times), and there are a staggering number of crags and climbs from Grade 4 upwards. Walk-ins are from 5-45 mins. Since it is all lead climbing, participants will need a rope, harness and a set of quickdraws (or share with a climbing partner). The majority of climbs are well bolted, with a few trad routes on some crags.

There are several ways to travel to Kalymnos and a variety of hotels and Airbnbs - the Rock Fax guide gives a huge amount of information. Once on the Island you will need to hire a car to get to most crags, though a few are within walking distance. Another option is to hire a scooter for which only a driving licence is required. Most of the hotels and Airbnbs are within walking distance of each other and also to the multitude of restaurants, bars and coffee shops in the village.
