Description
Head to the southern peninsula of Peloponnese for the adventure of a lifetime rock climbing and sailing in Greece!
Over the course of 7 days, we will climb in and around the stunning scenery of Leonidio before sailing down the coast to Kapsala, Kyparissi and finally Vlychada beach.
The adventure begins after we meet at the Plaka marina, near Leonidio. We’ll spend the first two to three days climbing around the marina, enjoying stunning views from the seaside cliffs.
From here, we’ll sail 10 nautical miles to Kapsala, where we will do some crag climbing, up over the sea.
The following day, we will sail 4 nautical miles to Kyparissi, where we will make an ascent of one of the nearby world-class sea cliffs.
On the final day of the trip, we will sail 9 nautical miles to Vlychada beach and head on one last climb.
Each evening, we will relax in the boat, enjoying the stunning views out over the rugged coastline. We may even have some time to learn a bit about sailing.
Part of what makes this part of Greece a world-class climbing destination is all of the variety. There are plenty of slabs, overhands and deep water solo climbs to try out, appropriate for climbers of every level.
Regardless of your previous experience, I will find the perfect route to challenge you and allow you to hone existing skills while learning new ones too.

Mountain Guide
I am an IFMGA mountain guide living in Cyprus. I have a passion for exploring the mountains since I was child. Kyperounda, the town where I was born and raised, was my first playground, the place where I started practising different outdoor activities.
First I learnt skiing. Then, I started training and taking part in races and competitions, traveling extensively in Europe. As I am very curious, I kept trying all kinds of sports until I discovered climbing and all its exciting possibilities.
I also developed both my academic and my practical skills in the university, where I studied Outdoor Studies and Sport Science. During that time, I obtained qualifications as a Mountain Leader and a Climber.
Teaching other people is one of the things I like the most. I find a deep joy in helping others to enjoy the mountains as much as I do.
The experience of all these years as well as my technical skills, have taken me closer to my goal: becoming an IFMGA mountain guide.

It was a lot of fun the visibility wasn't that great but there was a lot of snow from recent storm.

Kyriakos was fantastic. Without a knowledgable guide, this is a dangerous trip. Felt very safe with Kyriakos. He also found us totally untracked snow on a busy day. Nice person and very knowledgable. Explore Share was good too, but I gave them 3 stars because I found their site and messaging system clunky. It would also be nice if they offered an option to include all the gear. We had to rent everything before hand.

We had a bluebird day to ski Vallee Blanche. Unfortunately, not a lot of fresh snow but still an absolutely stunning area to explore! Would have liked a bit more time to take photos and ‘take it all in’ because the valley is absolutely stunning. There were a few times we felt a bit rushed, but other than that it was a very positive experience.

Kyros was amazing as a guide. We did not get to do Vallee Blanche due to Aiguille Du Midi not opening however found an amazing alternative. Highly recommend.
