Description

Northwest facing crag, shade most of the day. Mostly vertical limestone with some cracks, pockets and a tufa or two. Overlooking the Libyan sea on the south side of the island of Crete. With only two dozen routes you can climb this area out in 2 days. The Beach is only a few meters away.

Getting There

Rent a car at the airport or ferry terminal or take the public bus from Rethimnon to Plakias. The wall is a 5 to 10 minute walk depending on where you stay. It's on the East end of the beach. Hard to miss!
