Access: Attention Car Breaks

Unfortunately, something bad that the climbers are experiencing mainly in Italy and France has also come to Greece.

In the last period (autumn-winter 2017-18) unfortunately windows of parked cars were broken in the fields of Phrygani and Lagada in the Peloponnese.

An arrest was even made in Lagada and some stolen goods were returned to their owners.

The breaking and stealing had been done by Gyptos (Roma) who live South of Sparta.

If you park in the above fields of Frygani and Lagada as well as Hassia in Attica, it is better not to leave anything in the car.

Especially for the field of Frygani we recommend that you park at the shop with traditional products (37.921729, 22.527051) which is located near the intersection for Kefalari and go to the field on foot. (1.4 Km, 15 minutes walk).

And don't forget to buy something from the little shop which, among us, has excellent local products! (Source)

Description

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

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.

The Environment Museum of Stymphalia is a must-visit as it displays the interdependence of mankind and Nature by providing information on the region’s environment, human activity, and traditional professions. Less than 30 minutes away you can visit Nemea, the biggest wine-producing region in Greece with huge historical & mythological importance (Hercules 1st labor; slay of the Nemean Lion).
