Summary
Limestone
A major limestone crag at the eastern coast of the Peloponnese. Some call it the "new" Kalymnos and it definitely has the potential. Currently there are over 1900 routes and there are more every day.
Description
Leonidio offers everything, from crimpy routes, to overhanging tufa climbing in all grade ranges, single pitch and multi-pitch. Due to the southward orientation of most sectors it is an excellent winter climbing destination. Relax in the small village or enjoy the sea on your rest days. If you are going to visit Leonidio, consider also a side-trip to Kyparissi and it's surrounding areas that are just an hour away.
