Please note:
Right now, guidebooks may take much longer to arrive.
Record volumes of items at the post and ongoing COVID-19 restrictions cause longer delivery times.
The proceeds of this guidebook go back into local climbing and crag maintenance. The Municipality of Leonidio has committed to using all profits from the sale of this guidebook to fund further development and crag/route maintenance.
Importantly, this ensures that the local authorities will have an ongoing stream of revenue to use for climbing—a low-impact form of tourism which has already added immense value to Leonidio.
Soon you will be able to read more about how these proceeds are used on the official climbing site of Leonidio.
Leonidio, a gorgeous traditional town in Eastern Peloponnese, has become a major climbing area known for well-bolted single pitches and fully bolted, long multi-pitch
routes on excellent limestone. Further south, the beautiful seaside village of Kyparissi now has nearly 400 well-protected routes and unlimited tufas.
This essential guide includes 83 crags (51 in the book, 32 extra in the app) and nearly
2500 sport routes for all levels. Developments up to December 2020 are featured, including new crags Geraki Wave, Loupas, Theatro, Yellow Eyes, and Arcadia.
Bonus: Also included are the new crags at Agios Petros and Agios Andreas, two picturesque villages north of Leonidio with perfect rock and unspoilt nature.
This guidebook was made possible by the warm collaboration with the people and municipality of South Kynouria and the Leonidio Association of Local Businesses.
