Long routes, limestone of superb quality, elevated position with tons of sun all day long.
Best season: winter or cloudy autumn or spring days. Sun: All day. Routes are long and pleasing but rather sharp, generally starting on big tufa features but quickly threading their way upward on crimpy vertical walls.
In the past there have been numbers of break ins in the cars. Climbers are advised to park in a position visible from the crag.
Follow general directions to Epos fYLI, after passing the golden domed church continue straight for 1.6km. At this point you see a tavern to your left hand. Turn left - there is a small sign pointing towards the municipal stadium as well as a big brown sign "Arizona". Follow the road uphill, pass the stadium (1.6km from th Arizona sign)and start descending on the back side of the hill. Continue another 1km from the stadium till you see the crag on your right. Follow discreet black spray marks staying on the right side of the wall till you reach the airy balcony bellow the routes. Total walking distance: 300m, time: 9min, ascent: 100m
