A guidebook to a selection of what are considered to be the best rock climbing locations in Greece, excluding Kalymnos. The focus is mostly on crags with single-pitch sport routes, but some standout multi-pitch and mixed-style adventure routes are also featured. A voucher is included so that you can download the guide onto your smartphone or tablet.
It has a clear, user-friendly page layout similar to that of the Kalymnos guidebook, not surprisingly as it is produced by the same team. There are also detailed, custom-made maps with approach paths, GPS coordinates for all crags, additional helpful crag info (e.g. conditions, rock type, sun/shade, orientation, child-friendliness etc.), tips on travel, accommodation, amenities, local interests and other activities, suggested itineraries for a one- or two-week rock trip around Greece, a concise Crag Planner and hundreds of photo-topos and stunning images.
It describes nearly 2600 selected routes at 31 venues throughout Greece, including: the 'sacred' conglomerate towers of Meteora, Pyli, Kipoi Almyros, Hasia Cave, Archeneis, Mikri Varasova, Mavrosouvala, Sesi, Vrachokipos, Chaos, Chatzouri, Alepochori, KSpatia, Kalogria, the solid, 917-metre limestone massif of Varasova, Kleisoura, Mytikas, Frygani, Nafplio, Leonidio, Kyparissi, Zobolo, Lagada Nedousa, Kardamyli, the Aegean islands of Anafi and Symi, three crags on the famous island of Crete (Voulismeno Aloni, Plakias and Tersanas Cave, also known as the 'new Grande Grotta').
NB It does NOT include any climbing in Kalymnos.
Despite being a Greek guidebook, it is entirely in English.
