Access issues inherited from Telendos
Ferry runs daily, every half hour, from the port at Myrties (1 Km s of Massouri) to Telendos. 2,50 € (2022 it is 3€) from 8am - 12 midnight. Fewer services operate in shoulder and off-season however. A boat also goes directly to the beach near Irox/Eros leaving at 10a and returning at 5p/1700. In shoulder season you need to arrange this with the boat operator and be ready to pay an extra 15-20€.
Approach
Gentle
<5 min
By foot from Telendos village (50-60 min): From Telendos pier, walk right, following signs to 'Irox'. When the paved road ends, continue on the trail to Paradise nudist beach. At the beach, take the steep trail uphill. Follow the coastal path across several small bays and cliffs. Where the trail is not obvious, look for cairns and blue paint marks. After passing a small goat corral, the trail slopes upwards. Where the path to 'Miltiadis' and St Constantine chapel splits left, continue straight across the hilltop. Pass the trails up to 'Eros' and 'Glaros' and take the steep path downhill to the leftmost routes of 'Irox'.
By boat (1 min): Ask the boat driver to drop you off at sector 'Irox'. From the boat drop-off, scramble up to the wall base.
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).
History
A very family friendly crag when approached by boat. On the flipside this resulted in a very unfortunate fatality seen by the deceased's children.
