Theos

International > Europe > Greece > Peloponnese > Leonidio

Description

A large area comprised of five sectors--Theos Pillar, Theos Cave, Micro Theos, Theos Right, and The Love Ledge. The five sectors offer distinctly different styles with most routes in the mid-grades. The quality is generally quite good but expect some chunkiness and sharp rock in most of the sectors.

The areas all receive sun most all day. The right side of Theos Pillar gets some shade in the afternoon. These areas are best on cloudy and/or cold days.

Getting There

From the public parking in Leonidio, drive east out of town on the highway towards Astros for about two miles. You'll pass a wood-working shop on your right called "Strantzos". Park a few hundred feet past the wood-working shop in small pullouts on the right. Hike up a gravel/dirt driveway across the highway from the parking spots following red painted dots until you come to a house. Turn left just before the house and head straight up a gully along a metal fence. At the top of the fence, make a hard right on a good trail to hike along the fence. Continue on this trail as it goes up to the sectors. The first sector you'll come to is Theos Pillar. Continue on for another minute to Theos Cave. Keep going another minute for Theos Micro. Then, keep going for another minute to Theos Right.  Last but not least the trail ends at The Love Ledge before returning back to the road roughly a half mile from the first Theo's parking area.

[Hide Comment] An easier approach is to drive past the parking area mentioned above until the next sign for climbing that says "Love Ledge". Park here, hike up, then go left. Dec 21, 2023
