3day Rock Climbing Trip in Crete (Chania or Heraklion)

Whether if it’s your first time climbing and you want to learn, or you have some experience and you want to progress, this is a suitable trip!

The climbing areas have comfortable routes for beginners and hard ones for those seeking challenges that will make them improve.

• Routes from 4a to 8b+ all in great limestone.
• Overnight either in tents or in small apartments (Allow about 30-45€ per night if you prefer to overnight in small apartments).
• Tents & mattresses are included in the listed price along with the stove (Trangia set).
• Depending on the group, food is possible in local tavernas or we will cook on the camping spot. 
• We pick up clients from both Chania & Heraklion cities (where the two largest airports are located).
• You will sort out everything with our guide on the first day of the trip.
• The dates are quite flexible and as long as we have at least two participants we can run the trip year-round.
• The mild winter makes ideal for rock climbing even those cold days of January, February.
• We require a minimum of 4 participants. Individuals are welcome, but the trip will only proceed if a minimum of 4 people register. Get in touch with us if you are less than 4 to check if we got other bookings during your stay in Crete.

All you need is your flight and your climbing shoes! When you book please mention your body type (height & weight) and what experience you got, if any, in rock climbing. If you don’t have shoes let us know also what size you are wearing in normal running shoes and will bring along some.

About the trip

Crete is the place you must visit if you are willing to spend an adventurous rock climbing vacation along with the great hospitality of the Cretans and the amazing local cuisine.

The 3 days climbing trip takes place in various climbing areas. Depending on your flight the trip can be arranged either in the Chania region of Heraklion region. The last has the best climbing spots on the island and thus is better to fly there.

During the 3-day trip, you will be able to take advantage of your time and climb as much as possible. Overnight can be either on tents or small apartments depending on the group's needs. Just get in touch with us. At least one of the climbing areas (assuming you will fly to Heraklion) is near the sea; that gives an ideal location for summer climbing as during midday you can relax & swim while getting the earliest morning and evening. Water is at 26oC until late September, October goes down to 22oC and November at 20oC to give you a rough idea. September to May are the best months to do rock climbing on Crete.

During the trip, you will receive all the necessary briefing and technical equipment.
