Access issues inherited from Armeos
When you pass a gate on your approach close it behind you! Also try to stay on the established approach paths.
Approach
Gentle
20-30 min
By scooter/car
From Masouri/Armeos, drive the main road towards Arginonta. Just after the sharp right turn above Kasteli, take the small road that leads up on your right (37.0167, 26.9423). Follow the road for about 500m.
Park on the side of the road, just before two big boulders (37.0122, 26.9432). Make sure to leave enough space for cars to pass through.
On foot/by bicycle
From Masouri/Armeos follow the road towards Arginonta until a rough dirt road leads up right (8 min by bike, 25 min on foot from Masouri), just after passing a couple of abandoned houses (37.0131, 26.9423). Lock your bike here, walk up the dirt road and turn right when you reach the small road above. Continue until you reach the two big boulders on your left, where the trail to 'Odyssey', 'Iliada' and 'Olympic Wall' starts.
Take the trail starting at the two large boulders on the left side of the road, leading up to 'Odyssey', 'Iliada', 'Olympic Wall' and 'Ocean Dream'. After about 2 min, the path splits. Stay on the main path continuing left to 'Odyssey'. Pass all the way along sector 'Odyssey'. From its left end a marked trail leads you to sector 'School'.

- 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).
