Ermionida, in the Argolis region of the Eastern Peloponnese, is a stunning area featuring rugged coastlines, emerald waters, rolling olive groves, and popular summer holiday spots. Sport climbing began here in the early 2000s, led by Jim Titt and Inge Zaczek, sparking nothing less than a “climbing revolution” at the time. Recently, a growing local climbing community has taken on maintenance and developed new routes, with plenty of exciting potential still to explore.
