One of Kaly's newest crags! It is situated over Skalia village and offers rather short but good routes on grey and orange rock as well as a stunning view over Telendos and Masouri.
The crag consists of three small caves connected to each other with vertical walls. There is a big variety of climbing styles, from very steep cave climbing on big holds or some tufas to grey walls, off-vertical pocketed walls, short and steep athletic routes, and so on.
Best for climbing in spring and fall. However, summer climbing is also possible on days with a northerly breeze, as there are long hours of shade.

From Masouri, drive towards Emporios. After you pass the village of Skalia, turn right at the junction towards Palionisos (37.04139, 26.94819). At the col, there is a chapel with a large cross (Saint Panormitis church).
Park across the road at the parking area on your right, where you see a sign to 'Prophitis Andreas' (37.04348, 26.952927).
Cross the road and follow the path starting to the right of the chapel, heading northwest. Soon the path goes through a gate, then continues just to the left of a fence with nice views of the bay where sector 'The Beach' is located, as well as the island of Leros. After about ten more minutes of easy, low-angle walking, you will arrive at a col with a big cairn. Turn left up to the col, then walk downhill for five more minutes to the crag, which is visible down to the left.

Sector Heroes was developed mostly in August 2019 by Aris Theodoropoulos, with the help of Katie Roussos and George Kopalides. Three routes had been opened previously by Christian Lemrich (Billie, Agnodice, Greek Freak). All three routes were cleaned and rebolted with new hangers and lower-offs.
