The island has around 100 climbing routes and aims to reach over 400 in the next two years.
The most important climbing areas are located in the following areas:
1) Kira Panagia – There are already about 50 climbing routes. The rocks are one of the best on the island, and the location is privileged, by the sea, with easy access, ready tourist infrastructure and a short distance from Pigadia.
2) Apella – There are already 30 climbing routes. The area has the best rocks for climbing in Karpathos, in one of the most beautiful and wild landscapes of the island. The neighboring beach is also a good thing, as well as the easy access (with asphalt to the beach, and from there by a fordable path to the rocks).
3) Adeia – There are 20 climbing routes already. The gorge of Flaskia behind the coast of Adeia can evolve into the most popular climbing field of the island, and one of the best in Greece. The rocks are of top quality, the surface of the hill is very large, the landscape is particularly beautiful, and the access is very easy, with an asphalt road.
Many climbing points are very close to the sea. A dive in the warm sea after climbing, is a real compensation.
