Description
Climbing routes are bolted around the two caves that remind almonds. The pitches are mostly overhanging, in very good limestone.
Approach
The best route leads from side canyon, in this case, you park next to the asphalt road leading to Zakros. Follow the red dots that are sprayed along the dirt road leading to the canyon. Do not forget to close the small goat gate at the entrance to the canyon.
Ethic
**General**
1. Don’t leave any rubbish behind.
2. Keep the noise down and enjoy the natural surroundings.
3. Don’t write the route name on the rock unless you are the original route-setter or first ascensionist.
4. Avoid using chalk.
5. Don’t use fixed gear for top-roping. Use your own carabiners or quickdraws until the last person is descending.
**Bolting**
1. Before setting new routes get in contact with the [Cretan Climbing Community](https://www.facebook.com/cretan.climbing.community).
2. Only use material (titanium) that is suitable to be used near the sea.
3. Respect local heritage and historical sites.
