East
Frygani is a large limestone and conglomerate vertical wall, similar to the legendary Meteora cliffs but, in fact, the rock is significantly more solid and with features in abundance (pockets, holes, and flakes). Another important difference: the bolting in Frygani is much denser!
Approach
Steep hike
<5 min
Frygani is just 2km from Kefalari, a traditional and non-touristic village in mountainous Corinthia. It is located on the eastern foot of Mount Ziria, the second tallest mountain of Peloponnese. From Athens, follow the National Road to Corinth and Patras. Take the exit to Kiato and continue for 23 km towards Stymphalia. After passing the junction for the villages of Klimenti and Kaisari, you will see the field to the right of the road. Park on the side road to the right and follow the small path for 3 minutes.
History
