Description

Sun until 5.30PM when the shade of Theos Pillar comes in.

Approach

From Leonidio, take the main road towards the coast. After 2 km, park on the right side, opposite of a dirt road branching off left with signs to the various sectors (37.1683, 22.8863).

Walk up the dirt road. Before the house, turn left and hike up the steep creek bed along the fence. At the end of the fence, step out and turn right, following the trail along the upper side of the fence. On the next corner of the fence, the trail splits. Take the lower branch towards Theos. After passing some old stone walls, walk up around the corner, passing Theos Pillar on your left. Continue on the steep trail for another 3min, then scramble up some boulders on your left to the belay ledge below the cave.
