Kalymnos Cave
Cave is so called because of, you guessed it, a cave. Not the cave on the crag, but the cave under the crag which is accessed via an iron gate and a ladder and is well worth exploring, it is huge. The cave on the crag is also pretty big and offers a few hard tufa climbs. Either side of this are some pleasant easier slab and wall climbs, all very enjoyable. The cave under the ground never gets the sun, the cave on the crag gets it after 2pm and the rest of the cliff after 1pm.
Follow the road from Masouri towards Skalia, and park about 2km after Arginonta village after the top of the hill and a bend in the road. There is usually a signpost here to the cave. Follow the footpath that leads up to the crag. About 10 minutes from the road to the main crag. The upper buttress is a further 5 minutes, reached by scrambling up the left hand side of the crag.
