Description

Leonidio is a small traditional town on the Peloponnese Peninsula, less than 4 hours away from Athens. It’s also a fast-growing but still quite undeveloped climbing area.

Boasting more than 1000 climbing routes in high-quality limestone, this Greek village certainly has the potential of turning into the next major climbing destination in Europe.

Lying along the shore of the Mediterranean Sea, Leonidio welcomes visitors with a stunning view of the cliffs and crags that surround the town. The climbing routes are right there, spreading out within a 20-kilometer radius and reaching altitudes of 800 m.

Furthermore, the number of new routes is always growing and new routes are still waiting to be developed.

There’s also a great variety of bars, cafes and fish taverns close to the beach. That way, you’ll cover all the needs before and after climbing and enjoy a complete Greek experience!

Another highlight of this area is the fact that it’s an all-year-round destination, allowing climbers to travel there even in winter.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
