Kalymnos Sea Breeze
An excellent crag for beginners and middle grade climbers with easy access and lovely views over Arginonta bay. The routes are mostly slabs and walls, and many require an 80m rope. Great Canyon has some steeper, harder routes. The sun arrives early, between 10am and midday depending on the sector.
Drive North from Masouri to Arginonta and park 200m or so after the bend in the road and the junction with the road to Vathy, by a sign marked "Sea Breeze". Follow the path up to the cliffs. About 5 minutes.
