Full description

Embark on an exciting 3-day climbing adventure in Crete. Whether you’re a beginner looking to learn or an experienced climber seeking progress, this trip is perfect for you. The climbing areas offer a range of routes, from comfortable ones for beginners to challenging ones that will help you improve. Climb on great limestone walls with routes ranging from 4a to 8b+.

Overnight accommodation will be in comfortable tents, which are included in the price along with mattresses and a Trangia stove set. Depending on the group’s preference, we can arrange meals (meals cost is not included)  at local tavernas or cook together at the camping spot. Our experienced guide will provide all the necessary information on the first day of the trip.

We offer pick-up services from both Chania and Heraklion cities, with included pick-up from Heraklion and an additional fee of 150€ for Chania. The trip dates are flexible, and as long as we have a minimum of two participants, we can run the trip year-round. Even during the mild winter months of January and February, Crete’s favorable climate makes it ideal for rock climbing.

Crete not only offers excellent climbing opportunities but also showcases the warm hospitality of the Cretans and the delectable local cuisine. Over the three-day trip, you’ll have ample time to climb to your heart’s content. The climbing area’s proximity to the sea provides an ideal setting for summer climbing, allowing for relaxation and swimming during the midday heat.

The sea temperature remains around 26°C until late September, gradually decreasing to 22°C in October and 20°C in November. The best months for rock climbing in Crete are from September to May.

Rest assured, during the trip, you’ll receive comprehensive briefings and have access to all the necessary technical equipment.
