St. Constantine

International > Europe > Greece > Kalymnos > Telendos Island

Description

St. Is named after the small White Chapel on the north side of Telendos.

St. Constantine consists of many amazing route ar half a dozen or so different crags and just shy of 70 routes as of 2019. With so much variety you're sure to be able to find what you're looking for, especially if that is a long approach and very small crowds. The north-east exposure keeps the heat off the wall but the walk-in can get quite warm on a summer day.

Getting There

Approach 1. Boats to Saint Constantine: this boat ride should cost 5 euros and will drop you off on the shore underneath the chapel. Walk uphill a couple hundred meters. Turn right on a well trampled trail that circumnavigates the island and follow this for another couple hundred. When you encounter a sign with the Crag name turn left and Ike uphill following Kerens to Crags. 20min

Approach 2. Walking from Telendos Village:  Follow the path north that parallels the coast. After 40 minutes you will encounter a sign that reads St. Constantine that may or may not be standing. Above you will be sector Falcon and Kingdom. Follow a faint trail uphill that is sometimes marked by caren's. Approach time 60 minutes.
