Climbing

On Ikaria, mountaineering takes advantage of the island’s distinctive geomorphology, with steep cliffs, ravines, and peaks offering varied routes for exploration. Mountaineers can move through areas such as Papoutsokryfis, Atheras, and other mountain sections, combining physical exercise with observation of the rich flora and fauna. The activity is supported by the Ikaria Mountaineering and Hiking Club, which marks routes, organizes excursions, and provides guidance for a safe, complete mountain experience. Participants can adapt routes according to their experience level, while the natural beauty and the alternation among gorges, peaks, and forests make mountaineering on Ikaria a unique experience.
