The climbing
Click here to view larger crag map.At time of writing there are 25 sectors spread practically the length of the West Coast of the island. Marked clearly at the side of the road with an impressive, white pillar with a plate indicating the sector name, what colour markers to follow and the time to the foot of the crag. Supermarket climbing it maybe but well worth a day at the corner shop.

Sectors/Zones:

Monastery
Sixteen routes mainly F6a/6b on beautiful grey slabs.
South facing so shades in the morning till noon then a bit hot. Reached from S end of Kantouni beach find the white marker posts and follow yellow markers to crag-5/10 mins.

Austrians
A new sector-mainly short overhanging routes between 6b and 8a-Eleven routes in all at present. West facing. Sun after 4pm. Reached as per Monastery but follow red marks after 200m.15min.

Yerakios
Three routes on a rather poor slab-not strongly recommended in view of the wealth of better sectors, but useful if your chasing 5c for which there are two, plus
a 6a+. SW facing reached just before Myrties coming from Panormos, turn R after long downhill stretch onto concrete road and follow yellow markers.
