Hi all,
Thanks in advance for any info ;)
I am looking for a place for a climbing vacation (lead or bouldering) at the end of september start of october.
I am looking for a place that won't be too expensive and will be nice around not only for climbing.
I was thinking about railay, hampi and kalymnos but they all look off season at that time.. (or am I mistaken?)
So I would appreciate any ideas good and bad.
Thanks,
Avishai
I have been to Railay in september and I must say that it's very hot and humid at that time - it's off season. Like Jens allready said, Kalymnos is just perfect at that time of year. And also it's much better for climbing that Railay, so don't hesitate!
I've thought about Kalymnos early October but there seems to be no direct flights to Kos by then? Is there any good way to get there fast without wasting a lot of time travelling? From Sweden that is, Jens? Anyone?
One option is Rhodos and then a 2.5 hour ferry. The flight from Athens is also an option but sometimes it is cancelled due to strong wind. It is actually kindof hard to get to Kalymnos but once you get there you will think it was worth it. :-)
Ferry from Athens takes about 11-12 hours. For the moment there are 4 boats per week but usally there is one ferry every day. Timetable at http://www.danae.gr/ferries-greece.asp here you can check also timetable of Kos (Mastichari) - Kalymnos.
