Greece Sport Climbing: The Best Of

Greece is a sunny country with gorgeous beaches, rugged mountains, and outstanding cliffs. Until recently, though, Kalymnos was its only claim to sport climbing fame. A book about the very best crags in the rest of Greece has been a longtime dream of the author. Now, joined by the same team behind the best-selling Kalymnos guide, it has become reality.
