About the activity

Discover the captivating climbing experience at Agiofarago, a serene and picturesque location in Crete. This excursion offers an opportunity for climbers of all levels to explore their skills amidst a peaceful landscape, enhanced by stunning natural beauty. Located approximately 70 km south of Heraklion, Agiofarago is nestled within the Asterousia Mountains, making it a must-visit destination for adventure enthusiasts.

On the day of your private climbing excursion at Agiofarago, the journey begins with an approximately 1.5-hour drive from Heraklion to the historic Monastery of Odigitria, often referred to as the "Mount Athos" of Crete. This beautiful monastery provides a glimpse into the region’s rich cultural and religious heritage. After a brief stop, the excursion continues to Agiofarago, which translates to the "Gorge of the Saints." This short but scenic gorge was once a refuge for monks and now serves as a premier climbing destination with over 120 secured routes. The limestone rock offers excellent grip, and the variety of routes caters to climbers of all ages and skill levels, from children and beginners to advanced climbers.

Climbing in Agiofarago is not just about the thrill of the ascent; it also offers breathtaking views from the crag and a tranquil experience in a peaceful landscape. After the climb, participants can cool off with a refreshing swim in the stunning blue-green waters of the gorge’s beach. This combination of climbing and relaxation makes for an unforgettable day in one of Crete’s most beautiful natural settings.

Don't forget to bring our best climbing or sports shoes, some comfortable clothing adapted to the weather, a waterproof jacket in case it rains through the tour, some sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a swimsuit, and a towel, as well as anything else you might need (medication, extra snacks, etc.) to spend an amazing 8 hours exploring the stunning southern Cretan landscapes on this private climbing excursion at Agiofarago.
