Among climbers, this tranquil town in the <strong>south east of Greece<\/strong> hasn\u2019t been a secret for a long time. The enormous rock face, combined with Greek hospitality and beautiful beaches, has raised Leonidio\u2019s fame far beyond Greek borders.<\/p>\n\n<p>That means our bus is one of many that cruises along the coastal road on a warm day in November.<\/p>\n\n<p>Even before reaching Leonidio, we can see the first climbing sections, thanks to the wooden signs on the road pointing out the approach to the climbing route.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8276-1500x1125.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8276-1500x1125.jpg\" alt=\"Excellent climbing safety promises an exceptional experience in Leonidio\" class=\"wp-image-78303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8276-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8276-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8276-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8276-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8276.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Excellent climbing safety promises an exceptional experience.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Immerse yourself in the climbing experience of a lifetime<\/h2>\n\n<p>We now have 7 weeks to explore this gigantic rock formation and we want to start straight away. As soon as we arrive, the mountain is calling so we choose <strong> Sabaton<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Sabaton is a classic among the climbing sections with a mere <strong>2 minutes (!) to its approach<\/strong> from here. Yes, you read correctly after 2 minutes, we\u2019re standing right in front of the rock face. Because of this proximity, it\u2019s not surprising that the routes closest to the car park in particular show evidence of how many visitors come here. But this is nothing compared to stripped down routes in other climbing areas. Routes higher up are amazing, and those looking for levels 6a to 7a will strike it rich. There are only a few routes from 7b upwards.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Wand_1_zugeschnitten-11.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Wand_1_zugeschnitten-11.jpg\" alt=\"Climbing with a view in the Sabaton section.\" class=\"wp-image-77943\" width=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Wand_1_zugeschnitten-11.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Wand_1_zugeschnitten-11-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Wand_1_zugeschnitten-11-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Climbing with a view in the Sabaton section.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>In addition to Sabaton, there are about <strong>90 sections<\/strong> with currently about <strong>2,300 routes<\/strong> in and around Leonidio. The most imposing is the large main wall (Kokkinovrachos means \u2018red wall\u2019) that towers steeply above Leonidio.<\/p>\n\n<p>For sport climbers who want to enjoy themselves with levels 5a to 6c, Douvari, Orama and Rocspot along the main rock face are worth a visit.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition to numerous sport climbing options with difficulty levels 5 to 6c, there are several beautiful multi-pitch route tours. The easiest route is Mignonette with a difficulty level of 5c (5a obl.). Particularly recommended for all those who feel at home with difficulty level 6 is Aghios Lemmy.<\/p>\n\n<p>Climbers can enjoy some amazing, sometimes quite tough 6 pitches. A classic provided by the two Remy brothers who have created many perfectly secured routes in and around Leonidio.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Many beautiful climbing areas<\/h2>\n\n<p>In addition to Kokkinovrachos, the areas of Love Ledge, Skiadhianiko, Bella Vista, Yellow Eyes and the Theos series have attracted us. I would particularly like to highlight <strong>Yellow Eyes<\/strong> and <strong>Bella Vista<\/strong>. Both sections don\u2019t just offer a stunning view and are worth a visit because of that, they also feature many different options for rock climbing in Greece.<\/p>\n\n<p>Besides slab climbing on a grey rock face, there are also pronounced sinter and pocket overhangs in Yellow Eyes.<\/p>\n\n<p>After a hike of 30 minutes, Bella Vista welcomes climbers with a wide range of movements and rock formations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7853-1500x1125.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7853-1500x1125.jpg\" alt=\"The Yellow Eyes section, an amazing view during climbing in Greece in Leonidio\" class=\"wp-image-78309\" width=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7853-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7853-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7853-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7853-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7853.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Yellow Eyes section: an amazing view during climbing in Greece in Leonidio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>For those who love cultivated sinter climbing, the areas of Elona, Twin Caves and Mars are recommended.<\/p>\n\n<p>In general, the route options around Leonidio are probably enough for a lifetime of climbing. Especially since additional sections are developed and new routes created all the time.<\/p>\n\n<p>A quick word on equipment: The routes are quite long and secured with climbing for fun in mind. I would therefore suggest at least 20 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/camming-devices-friends\/\">quickdraws<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/climbing-ropes\/\">rope<\/a> of 70, ideally 80 metres.<\/p>\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/climbing-helmets\/\">climbing helmet<\/a> is a must in my opinion because there is a risk not only of loose rocks in the wall but also of stones that are loosened by goats grazing up above.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Activities for days off from climbing in Leonidio<\/h2>\n\n<p>Leonidio has a lot to offer when your fingers need a break from the harsh chalk. Relaxing on the beach and going swimming is always a good idea. But since we felt it was a little too chilly for that in December, we decided to take two stray dogs from the Koue and Katsoua Project and walk to the Profitis Ilias Chapel above Leonidio with them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7591.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"263\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7591.jpg\" alt=\"The two dogs Milenia and Stavriani from the Koue and Katsoua Project.\" class=\"wp-image-78315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7591.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7591-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The two dogs Milenia and Stavriani from the Koue and Katsoua Project.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Volunteers take in abandoned dogs, look after them and try to find them a home. The small \u201canimal sanctuary\u201d is located in Leonidio, and our cute four-legged friends are always <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/brands\/keen\/\">keen<\/a> to go walkies.<\/p>\n\n<p>Another classic for rest days is the Elona Convent. This nunnery was built into the rock and, in addition to this remarkable architecture, also has an exciting history. \u00a0It\u2019s currently open on Saturdays and Sundays only.<\/p>\n\n<p>Sometimes, it\u2019s also refreshing just to sit back, relax and visit one of the cosy caf\u00e9s to enjoy a delicious Greek coffee or mountain tea.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Time to enjoy some food<\/h2>\n\n<p>In addition to many <strong>small bars and caf\u00e9s,<\/strong> there are several restaurants in and around Leonidio that are particularly worth mentioning. First of all \u201cEn Leonidio\u201d tavern that offers tasty stone oven pizza, a wonderful atmosphere and warm-hearted staff.<\/p>\n\n<p>Mitropolis is also located in Leonidio. The open fireplace and the delicious aromas are certainly inviting. This restaurant offers Greek food as we would imagine it. Everything is home-made and well seasoned.<\/p>\n\n<p>Myrtoon is situated on the waterfront, about 15 minutes by car from Leonidio, offering freshly caught fish and tasty culinary sensations. This restaurant is also very popular with the locals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7714-1500x1125.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7714-1500x1125.jpg\" alt=\"En Leonidio&#x201D; tavern is inviting after a long day&#x2019;s climbing\" class=\"wp-image-78321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7714-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7714-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7714-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7714-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_7714.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">En Leonidio\u201d tavern is inviting after a long day\u2019s climbing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Accommodation<\/h2>\n\n<p>Seaside tourists have been coming to Leonidio during the summer for a long time, and climbing tourists during the cooler months for a few years. Therefore, the town features numerous accommodation options.<\/p>\n\n<p>In addition to a lot of private accommodation, there are also a few hotels, some with a sauna, and, of course, a camping ground that is open year-round.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good to know<\/h2>\n\n<p>Every Monday is market day in the centre of Leonidio. The valley between the rocks is very fertile, meaning the inhabitants make a living from agriculture. This means, you can buy crunchy vegetables and fruit, freshly caught fish, home-made soap, olive oil, honey and all sorts of delicacies at the market. I\u2019d absolutely recommend a visit.<\/p>\n\n<p>In Leonidio, there are <strong>two supermarkets<\/strong> with a wide selection. There\u2019s also \u201cKaba\u201d, a shop that sells a lot of home-made items, regional goods and organic products.<\/p>\n\n<p>Besides the two supermarkets, Leonidio also has<strong> two climbing shops<\/strong>. Firstly, there\u2019s the Panjika Co-operative that runs a small climbing shop and a caf\u00e9. Then there\u2019s the kind Local Do It (his nick name) who has decided to open the Climb 2 Red shop and to keep expanding it.<\/p>\n\n<p>Both locations are perfect for meeting other climbers, talk about the latest routes and share experiences.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beste-jahreszeit\">The best time of the year<\/h2>\n\n<p>Greek hospitality, combined with summery temperatures and amazing climbing options, is particularly attractive in winter.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8409-1500x1125.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8409-1500x1125.jpg\" alt=\"Even in December, we&#x2019;re able to climb in Leonidio in short clothing\" class=\"wp-image-78327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8409-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8409-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8409-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8409-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.alpinetrek.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_8409.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Even in December, we\u2019re able to climb in Leonidio in short clothing<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Many of the rocks face the south or southwest, making it too hot for climbing in the summer.
