Telendos Pescatore

Mainly wall climbing varying from pleasant slabs to overhanging tufas. Excellent routes on solid, sometimes sharp rock up to 30m in height. Set in an idyllic location with crystal clear sea, and lovely views of the North of Kalymnos. Stays in the shade until 4pm or later depending on the time of year.

Directions

Either walk from Telendos along the coastal path until you get to Irox, and then follow the coast for another 10 minutes to get to the crag. About an hour. Or take a boat from Kalymnos / Telendos and ask the driver to drop you off at Irox (and arrange to be picked up). The trip takes about 20 minutes from Kalymnos plus the 10 minutes walking.
