Masouri Climbing Area
Μασούρι
The base for climbing on Kalymnos. Hundreds of sport routes cover the limestone cliffs behind the village, suitable for all levels.
Masouri and the neighboring village of Myrties are resort villages on the island’s west coast. Behind them rise gray and orange limestone cliffs full of stalactites and caves. Hundreds of bolted sport routes have been developed, ranging from grade 5 to grade 9, and the area is a pilgrimage site for climbers around the world. The village has climbing gear shops, guides, and courses, and beginners can book a one-day introductory class. A classic evening pastime is watching the sunset over Telendos from a seaside bar. From Pothia Port, it is about 20 minutes by taxi or bus.
