Rock Climbing Cyprus

If you want to try rock climbing Cyprus offers a great deal for both beginners and advanced climbers. As far as climbing destinations go, it is still quite unknown which is a shame because many people are missing out on the wide variety of routes and great views that are available. On the plus side, it means that prices are still relatively quite cheap compared to other Mediterranean resorts! The diversity of the rocks also makes climbing a great way to spend some adventure time in Cyprus…

Cape Greko is popular for climbing and has nearly 50 different routes all offering great views. The rocks here are made of soft weathered limestone. To find the routes, there is a path beginning at the west of the car park.With 35 different routes, Droushia has great views of the Akamas Peninsular and the rocks are mostly made of sandstone. Dhiarizos is not far from Paphos and has around 25 routes, some of which are considered to be the best on the island. The rocks are limestone and face all directions. It is the busiest climbing area on the island but still pretty quiet most of the year. There are also indoor rock climbing walls available which are often popular on family holidays in Cyprus. The most well known is at the Get Out Rock Climbing Gym in Nicosia. They also have a shop selling climbing necessities located at One Step Further, 18A Arsinoes Avenue, 2006 Nicosia.
