Kalymnos Arhi
Arhi is an excellent and popular crag, and has a bit of everything. The left hand side has mostly steep wall climbs, the cave some of the hardest routes and projects on the island, and the right hand side is often busy.
Follow the road to Arginonta and then towards Emporios. Park a few hundred metres after Arginonta and follow the path up to the Arhi cave and turn left. 5 to 10 minutes walking.
