Kalymnos is a world-class sport climbing destination. It’s a magical and beautiful place that any climber will soon fall in love with.
Why you should join us and why Greece is so special:
- We keep the climber to guide ratio small for this trip with no more than 2 clients to one guide.
- This trip is great for all levels as there are very easy climbs right next door to more challenging rock climbs at all crags that we visit.
- You will be climbing with Hans and Heidi exclusively. They are both world class climbers that have decades of experience both on the rock as well as in the guiding and coaching world. We will work individually with people to help improve movement and proficiency in climbing. We guarantee that you will climb at least a grade higher by the completion of our week together on the rocks.
- Heidi and Hans have taught hundreds of people the art of rock climbing. This is the perfect chance to learn to climb in a safe and friendly environment with amazing instructors.
- We will keep our bodies happy with 3 yoga practices right on the waters edge to ease the stiff muscles from our climbing days.
- This is a luxury retreat so we will pamper you and cater to your every need. Massage therapists will be arranged, fully catered meals on the evenings that we don’t go out to several of the islands best restaurants.
- This trip is also quite relaxing. There’s just something about the beauty of the place and the fact that we all have our own accommodations with a sea view that seems to cause us to take things a little easier in our down time.
- Both couples and individuals will love the beauty and serene atmosphere of this amazing Greek island.
- Every room has a view of the Aegean Sea from our individual open air balcony. You can also walk right out your door and down the steps to swim in the sea!
- There is great shopping in the town we are staying in.
- There will also be time to explore the island by motorbike, car or bicycle.
Kastelli Villas are set on the island of Kalymnos, with plenty of space for you to enjoy a totally unique holiday! Each room has a view of the sea and pool. We will have fully catered meals except on the three nights that we will explore some of the islands finest restaurants. The villas and pool have magnificent outdoor spaces overlooking the island of Telendos.
The Kalymnian landscape is rocky, with rock faces of unique quality for sport climbing, easily accessible within a few minutes walking time from most of the islands settlements and motorways, offering breathtaking views with the endless blue of the Aegean Sea.
Today the island has almost 2500 well equipped sport climbing routes for all climbing levels from easy routes for beginners to extremely hard ones for the experts. The island features a series of easy slabs, technical wall climbs, wild overhanging and climbs between stalactites. The majority of the routes are single pitch but several multipitch routes are available as well.
The people of Kalymnos are genuine, open-handed, warm-hearted people who will try to make your stay unforgettable.
Remote beaches, turquoise waters, limestone all around, fresh produce…this island is a paradise. If you like Greek food, you are going to love this trip! This retreat will feature seasonal local produce amazingly prepared in the Greek fashion by our lovely hostess. They even make their own olive oil and cure their own olives (of course).
