Discover Leonidio – A Winter Climbing Paradise

Just a few hours south of Athens, Leonidio is a charming village full of character and the perfect spot for a climbing holiday.

With a mix of diverse climbs, stunning scenery, the sea close by, and a cosy bar offering art and live music Leonidio is one of Europe’s top winter climbing destinations.

Leonidio’s iconic red wall, Kokkinovrachos, offers some of Greece’s most impressive multipitch routes — with breathtaking views over the valley and sea.

My approach focuses on building autonomy and confidence, allowing you to climb multi-pitch routes safely while enjoying in the unforgettable landscape of Leonidio.
