Leonidio Challenge - A Unique Climbing Marathon
This year, the Leonidio Climbing Festival is offering participants the opportunity to take part in the Leonidio Challenge, a climbing marathon open to climbers of all levels, which will take place on the most beautiful and scenic cliffs in the area. In support of the event, participants will be able to use maps and detailed topos provided by our long-standing partner, Vertical Life. There are many valuable prizes on offer. The minimum requirement to be included in the ranking is to have climbed a total of 250 metres on the crags listed in the APP.

Music Concert
On Saturday night at 21:00, Bliss, a band formed in 2000 in Athens, will close the evening with an exciting concert. The trio, who released their first demo "Bodycode" in 2002, have traveled a long path of musical evolution. After years of live performances and intensive rehearsals, during which the band deeply explored their sound and musical style, in 2011 they released their first album entitled "Gabbatha". The music of The Bliss is characterized as modern alternative progressive rock / metal, with strong influences from the grunge scene of Seattle and elements from Greek traditional music, promising a unique musical experience for the festival participants.
