Explore, Climb, Relax
From the Ruins of Athens and the Ancient Greeks to Luxury Villas overlooking pristine coastlines, the diversity of Greece is unparalleled. Greece has many must see tourist destinations, the village of Kyparissi however is a unknown gem. Tucked into an obscure inlet it has been known to be a favorite destination of famous actors, Prince Charles, Presidents such as George Bush, and was the last vacation spot of Princess Diana days before her untimely passing. Kyparissi has maintained its unspoiled charm; the way greek villages were over a hundred years ago. Now lets talk about the climbing. Hidden amongst the small villages and secluded coves lie some of the worlds best stone. Sweeping faces laden with textured tufas and huecos, these picturesque cliffs span above the Myrtoan Sea.
Dream Trip
From Athens we’ll head straight to the sea. Cruising on a Yacht to our destination instead of hours of winding roads. Cruising in luxury down the Peloponnese coast past empty bays, perfect cliffs and secluded islands will land us in our first destination of Kyparissi. We’ll fall into the rhythm of life here, enjoying an isolated paradise full of natural wonders, delicious food and turquoise waters.
Our next destination lands us in the town of Leonidio. A veritable climbing paradise with walls towering overhead in every direction. This has quickly become one of the best places in the world for climbing regardless of ability level.
Finally we’ll make our way north to Nafplio, a beautiful little beach town in a sheltered bay, climbing with your toes in the sand and majestic sunsets overlooking the Myrtoan Sea.
After exploring the secluded nooks of the Peloponnese we will conclude our journey and cruise back to the ancient city of Athens.
Day 1
Board our elegant Yacht at the port of Athens headed for the quiet village of Kyparissi. A winding 5+ hour drive becomes a casual 2 hour cruise by sea.
Upon arrival will be greeted by one of the most stunning beach crags in Greece. A secluded bay with crystal clear waters and a limestone shelf invite you in for a swim and a climb. After climbing we’ll return to Kyparissi for dinner and settle in at the hotel for the night.
Day 2
Begin the day exploring one of the local cafes then gear up and walk to the cliff located 5 minutes above town. Sheltered from the sun until 1 pm we'll enjoy the climbing then stroll back to town for lunch.
An afternoon adventure awaits. An exciting via ferrata leads us down to an epic crag full of tufas, stalactites and the coolest holds imaginable above the Aegean Sea.
*Both morning and afternoon climbing will be optional.
Day 3
Enjoy a relaxing morning in Kyparissi, check out of the hotel, then cruise down the coast. Cliffs sit right above the turquoise water only a stones throw away. Snorkeling and beach time will be accessible all day. As the sun hits the walls we’ll return to the Yacht and continue our journey south.
The island of Monemvasia will soon come into view. We’ll make our way onto the island and check into the fabulous Likinia Hotel and enjoy a delicious dinner as the sun sets over this truly unique place.
Day 4
Wake up inside the walls of this romantic city. Nestled between imposing cliffs and the sea, you’ll be living in a museum of Byzantine, Ottoman and Venetian history dating back to the 6th century. After a nourishing breakfast we’ll take to the sea for another day of climbing. A relatively new area means these routes have seen few ascents. With routes up to 6 pitches long, an adventurous day awaits.
After a spectacular summit we’ll head back to Monemvasia.
Day 5
Take the morning to explore this historic place. Wandering between the towns narrow alleys, ancient monasteries and medieval buildings. The Sainte-Sophie Church is a local treasure amidst this charming and unsung corner of Greece. After an enjoyable morning we can go to another spectacular climbing area or take a rest day and get to know Monemvasia.
Day 6
Gear up the the final climbing adventure. Savor our last pitches on the spectacular Greek limestone. After we’ve got our fill we’ll return to the yacht and make our way back to Athens.
