European Sport Climbing 

With super steep roof climbing in large pockets as well as easier routes, Greece is not only a sea, sun and cultural destination, but is also a great destination for mountain activities, including sport climbing too. Specifically, Athens area offers more than 2000 single pitch bolted lines in more than 40 crags and new routes are constantly popping up. In addition there are 4 multi pitch walls with trad lines, plenty of bouldering and a lot of potential for deep water solo. the area around Athens has been developed without song and dance and stands up as some of the best variation in climbing grades and styles in Europe. Easy to get to and around, and with accommodation on location, Athens has a lot to offer.
