Kalymnos Nikoleta
The two large caves just up the road from Summertime have some good and very steep routes. Easy access and shade in the afternoon.
Follow the road north out of Masouri past the sharp bend at Kasteli. About 1.5 km down the hill and before Summertime there is an unfinished building on the left with a track leading to it. Park here 50m before the track at a bend in the road and walk up the hillside. The crag is reached in less than 5 minutes.
