Approach

From Masouri, drive towards Emporios. Drive through Skalia village and turn right up at the junction onto the steep uphill road to Palionisos (37.04138, 26.94815). Pass the col (about 250 m MSL) and drive down the serpentines.

After the 5th and last hairpin turn on your way down, you reach a gravel path to the left, opposite of a small antenna building. Park at the left side of the road, the same parking area as for 'Secret Garden' and 'The Beach' (37.05144, 26.95741).

Walk down the gravel path down to the small clearing. Find a trail marked by cairns that traverses rightwards along the hillside. Continue for about 10 minutes.

Ethic inherited from Kalymnos

  • PREPARE to leave nothing behind (trashbag, etc).
  • Use your own gear for toproping. Use fixed gear only for lowering. (See first section of guidebook for details.)
  • Minimize single-use plastic. No recycling on the island (yet).
  • Use established paths and close gates behind you.
  • Consider a donation to the rescue team (red boxes).
