I was looking something really close to my flat while searching for rocks. I start cycling around the area and found a small cliff, around 8-9 meters and a second one around 18m, well protected from the weather conditions. It is perfect for newbies as all routes (9 in total) are low and easy (5a+/6a+). All routes are equipped with 10mm stainless bolts and belays are ready with two bolts and a ring ready to abseil. You can climb all year long apart from hot summer days due to been in sun most of the day. You need around 30 minutes from Heraklion to Prinias and just 10 from my flat

This climbing area is around 17-18km away from the city of Chania. It's a very beautiful place with superb view to the sea. You wont find any bolts here, the spot is for traditional climbers only and therefore you will need a full climbing equipment to enjoy the routes with safety. The biggest route in the area is around 110 meters. Double ropes of course are necessary, 2x50m are recommended around 8-9mm. The quality of the rock is quiet good and you wont find it difficult to place your nuts while climbing.

It is the second biggest ridge of Greece and it is shows.It is located in the beginning of Samaria gorge in the prefecture of Chania. The access to it can be done with a public bus (KTEL) direction to plateau Omalos. Be aware that public transportation runs only during the summer months. The climbing sectors of Gigilos are mainly two, the first it takes the main face of the mountain while the second the towers of Gigilos. On the second area you will find many bolted routes up to 120 meters while in the main face of the mountain routes up to 1200 meters.
