Siana

ROUTES HAVE BEEN GOING RECENTLY UNDER MAINTENANCE AND ARE OPEN FOR CLIMBING

In Siana there are 9 routes - one of them is 2 pitches. Unfortunately the sector is far from the capital city, with somehow difficult approach so few climbers ateempt to visit. Rodos Hoteliers Association sponsored route equipping here on year 2000.

However visiting the sector is rewarding as there are some really beautiful climbing lines. Besides the villages around are not really touched by the massive touristic current and after climbing you can enjoy localy made "suma", a strong but clean spirit, acompanying some mezedes (greek tapas). You may also visit the nearby castle of Monolithos.

How to go

We drive along the west coastline for about 69km to the scenic village of Siana. 150 meters after the church on the right there is a sign indicating "Monolithos". Right at this spot we take the road on the right which leads to a dead end. In front of us stands the climbing section (15 minutes walking through sometimes wild vegetation)
