Leonidio Hada

An excellent overhanging crag protected by big roofs in a large gorge. The steep scramble to the bottom of the routes (not suitable for small children) give the climbs that extra bit of exposure. The rock is red limestone, mostly solid on the routes, but there is still lots of loose rock around, so it is advisable to wear helmets at the bottom.

Directions

From Leonidio drive along the valley road towards Elona monastery. Park at the first hairpin bend, where the road traverses round the gorge that leads to the crags. This is about 4 km from Leonidio. When the river is dry, it is possible to follow the gorge to the foot of the scramble that leads to the crag. However, it is better to follow the path that traverses the hillside on the right hand side (going up) and some distance above the gorge. This starts at a small signpost near the bend in the road. The path is marked with cairns. Follow the path for 15 to 20 minutes and when you see the large red crag with big caves, cross the river and scramble up using some fixed ropes. About 25 minutes from the road.
