One-pitch routes in this part of the canyon. Most of the crag is north or north-east oriented. Excellent limestone.
Be considerate of nature.
The easy way how to get to the canyon is to use a regular path from the Xerokambos. It takes you 50 minutes to get to our sectors "Red Rock" and "Kókkino Vrácho". The second possibility is to go with a car above the canyon and descend to the canyon from the top. In this case, you park two kilometers before the village Hametoulo ( road from Xerokambos to Ziros). Go along the yellow mark from the parking lot to the canyon. This route takes 15 minutes. However, there is at least one difficult place where you have to abseil down eight meters. There is a fixed rope installed. Be aware that you are descending in a highly protected area ( Natura 2000, archeological site).
Xerokambos or Zakros.
Big birds like eagles and vultures are nesting in this canyon during spring. So be aware of this fact.
Petr Fiala opened this crag for climbing in 2019.
