After many months of fieldwork, trial and error, and endless hours in front of the computer, we are thrilled to announce the publication of our new guidebook Greece Sport Climbing: The Best Of. Made in the style and quality of the Kalymnos guidebook, it is part of a series of guidebooks written by Aris Theodoropoulos and published by Terrain.
 
The new guidebook does not include every single crag in Greece, but a selection of what we consider to be the best crags in Greece excluding Kalymnos. The focus is mostly on crags with single-pitch sport routes, but some standout multi-pitch and mixed-style adventure routes are also featured. Taken together, we hope the Greece and the Kalymnos guidebooks will give climbers around the world plenty of good reasons to keep visiting and exploring our marvelous, mountainous country, many parts of which remain largely unknown.
