The program of the week

THE SCHEDULE OF YOUR WEEK

ARRIVAL

Arrive on Kalymnos, Pothia port, and make your way to your chosen accommodation (see « How to get to Kalymnos» in Useful info ). We highly recommend you stay in Masouri or Myrties as these areas are closest to the crags and most convenient for your stay (shops, restaurants etc.).

DAYS 1 AND 2: CLIMBING

4-5 hours of climbing typically in the morning (see What you will learn). The rest of the day relax at the beach, discover the surrounding villages, enjoy your evening with Greek cuisine etc.

DAYS 3: DEEP WATER SOLO

We go to Vathy and climb over the sea, it's Deep Water Solo… unforgettable! Unless you are Alex Honnold you will probably end up in the sea, so be prepared to swim!

In option, we could board for a sea trip. In the vicinity of the island’s fish farms, dolphins are regularly present, jump into the water to try to observe these playful mammals. We will reach Vathy by boat and do DWS. We finish the trip by going to Pserimos, a small island located between Kos and Kalymnos.

DAY 4: DAY OF REST

As any physical activity, it's important to manage rest.

This day would be the occasion for you to rent a scooter or a car to visit the island. I'll give you tips on the nicest places to visit. You could discover some remote beaches to chill.

DAY 5 TO 7: CLIMBING

Get back into the rhythm with 4 to 5 hours of climbing. Progress at your own pace on the island’s many routes! One day will be dedicated to climbing on Telendos, the iconic island in front of Kalymnos.

DEPARTURE

It’s the end of your course, feel free to leave whenever you want. The transfer is to be organised by your own means.
