Hiking and Scrambling on Kalymnos

carl dawson, a Kalymnian local who does 7c+ being 65 years old, has made a hiking and scrambling guide over Kalymnos which Kalymnos Adventure Center has picked up and started organizing different hikes. (c) Birgitta Lovernius The easiest one is the 3.3 km Italian Path, "Little Chinese Wall", which goes across the island from Pothia to Vathy. "This path history goes back to the Italian occupation of Kalymnos, 1912-1943. A well-build cobbled road connects the city of Pothia with the valley of Vathy and offers an enjoyable hiking and a magnificent view." More info on the hiking topo that also includes the path to come up on the top of Grande Grotta and some more difficult paths that could be considered as scrambling.
