Greece has risen from obscurity to become one of Europe’s most beloved sport climbing destinations. When it comes to rock climbing, Greece is unique. Thanks to the temperate climate, you can be actively involved year-round in the sport. More importantly, the rugged landscape of the land offers a variety of options (examples are limestone, caves, and marble), and so many curious geological formations to explore on all fours.

This time we have visited the newly developed crag just 40 minutes far from Leonidio. The name of this crag Arcadia (or Repodina).

About Arcadia/Repodina Crag

A new sport climbing crag was developed near Leonidio and specifically near Arcadiko Chorio. The crag was spotted, developed and equipped by A. Theodoropoulos and his partners Climb Greece in 2020. The Arcadia crag is in close proximity of another great sport climbing spot, Agios Andreas.
