There is now 3 main sectors for psychobloc in Kalymnos. If it’s not as good as in Majorca in Spain, it’s not crowded and you don’t have to wait for a line.The crags are very safe and the rock is very clean. There is climbs from the F6a to potential F8. They are no gelly-fishes. It’s the perfect choice when the weather is to hot and to much damp.
In Kantouni: New!
Beautiful grey rock, it will remind you the Odyssey sectore. You can go with a boat or by foot from the main path to go in Saint Photis ( access under construction, will need ropes to rich the crags) From the grade 5 to the 7c? 15 to 20m hight. Protect from the south wind.

At the very end of the island: New!
Just before Leros, you need a boat to go there. It’s a very beautiful orange, red and white rock with some stalactites. Protect from the north wind. More than 20m hight. All levels of climb, and some possible grades 8.

In Vathy:
! If you can go in Vathy any days, the sea have to be realy oily for the 2 other spots !
The well know sector is very good for dyscovering deep water solo and very nice to enjoy the place and the coffees in the harbour. It’s a good test before to try the other adventurous spots. From the grade 5 to the F8b.
