    Hello,

    I saw that there is a via ferrata route on Kalymnos, but i can’t find any information about it. Is there anybody who can tell me something about it? I’m curious about the difficulty and duration of the route. Is it worth it to take my via ferrata set with me?

    Thanks!

    hi Marlies

    contact “Claude Kalymnos” on facebook he was the one responsible for bolting it and can advise best.

    Kit can be hired at the Kalymnos Adventure Centre.

    Hello Marlies, we did the ferrata in 2011. The difficulty is medium and rather short (If I remember correctly 30 to 45 minutes). We were glad that we brought our ferrata-kit (just 2 carabiners connected to the climbing harness – we only needed 1 carabiner). We did the farrata as alternative path to sympligades rocks climbiong area).

    The path to the start of the ferrata is rather steep and also the path to the descent is not so clear. So we just picked a goat path and descent ;-)

    Hi Marlies,

    There is quite a lot of information about the via ferrata in the guidebook (sector “Gerakios”, page 291) incl. gear, approach etc.
