Gerakopetra pt. 2

International > Europe > Cyprus > Ineia

Description

Unfamiliar, so anyone who is... please add to this. Same type of rock as Gerakopetra. There are quite a few bolted routes on the southern crag with only one bolted route on the northern with great potential for more. We were only visiting that area for a short time for one day so i had no time to speak with knowledgable locals or document the routes.

Getting There

The directions are the same as for Ineia only instead of taking the second dirt road that leads to the army base take the first, its a left turn that descends down hill going south away from the army base. Follow this and it will lead to the top of the crag.
An alternative approach to the crag could be driving from Toxeftra beach near Avakas Gorge taking the dirt road that runs along the coast north for 3.7 km (from the parking area for Avakas Gorge). At 3.7 km take a right which will take you on another dirt road beginning to ascend for 7.8 km until you reach the bottom of the crag. This is my preferred drive as its a bit more simple. Either way, enjoy.
