Description

This sector is the closest to the towns of Armeos & Masouri, with one of the highest concentrations of classic, moderate routes. Poets has 6 different walls: Iannis, Coeur d'Armeos, Main, right, White shark and Zeus. This is one of the more crowded walls on the island, for good reason. The rock and climbing are iconic of Kalymnos. Shade in the morning.

Getting There

Walk, or scooter, to Carian Hotel, in Armeos. There is a steep driveway is across from the hotel and spa, just past Mike's Bikes and climbers massage. The steep driveway turns left, but a flight of stairs continues up on the right of a large boulder.Follow the stairs up and you'll see trails, often marked with blue or red dots, depending on your destination.
