Description

Protruding from the north end of Perissa Beach is a swath of south facing rock. It houses 40 or so routes ranging from 5.easy to at least the mid .12s. The base of the crag is an access road to the dock. The routes are all fully bolted with permanent biner anchors for easy cleaning. They are also labled with metal plates near the first bolt that provide route length, grade, and number of bolts. The rock extends out into the sea but provides little potential for DWS. The rock faces south but gets shade in the summer until about 10am. Photo topo available: vrahomania.gr/σαντορίνη/
There is a second sector for this area located uphill near the monastery. Sector 2 is also shown in the link.

Getting There

From the waterport or airport take your favorite mode of transportation to Perissa Beach. There is a parking lot within a two minute walk of the wall. You could also hike over the mountain from Kamari if you're staying there and motivated.
