    Stelios was an excellent guide, very experienced and safety conscious. The climbing gear was in excellent condition and good quality. The climb was in a beautiful location overlooking the sea on the south coast. It was strenuous and challenging but pure fun. Stelios provided plenty of guidance and tips for smoother, faster climbing and was encouraging throughout. He ensured before we started that we carried plenty of water for a hot day and timed our trip to make the most of the available shade.

    A few years ago, I did a Via Ferrata in Peru. My son Taino did one a month ago in Switzerland, and my son Kylian did one last year in Spain along the coast. But this Via Ferrata exceeded all our expectations and previous experiences. Our guide, Stelios Asmargianakis, picked us up punctually at 6:30 in the morning and drove us safely for an hour and a half to the place where we would start climbing. The guide was not only extremely friendly, polite, and helpful, but also very experienced. He gave clear instructions and accompanied us throughout the entire Via Ferrata. The route began with a descent, which was fairly easy. After about 20 minutes of going down, we reached an ascending section with breathtaking views. Then, there was a short traverse on a steep part of the mountain. Although it looked impressive and a bit scary (the ground was 200 meters below us), it was not difficult to do the traverse safely under the watchful eye of our guide, Stelios. After the traverse, the route continued vertically. The views were absolutely beautiful and impressive, and the Via Ferrata was well maintained. In short, this trip was a milestone in our lives, even though we have already done many adventurous activities: from deep-sea diving in Aruba and white-water rafting in Ecuador to paragliding in Peru and canyoning in Costa Rica. This Via Ferrata is highly recommended, and the guide is knowledgeable and very friendly.

    What to expect

    It is an amazing place to be, the view to the sea and nearby mountains is outstanding. Not to be missed! Nearly all the times we are able to watch many vultures (Griffon vulture). There is about 40 minutes walk total (to get into the ferrata and back) and around 2-4 hours to complete the via ferrata *. The road trip to get there is also very beautiful. * The essence of a modern via ferrata is a steel cable which runs along the route and is periodically (every 1 to 10 metres (3.3 to 32.8 ft)) fixed to the rock. Using a via ferrata kit, climbers can secure themselves to the cable, limiting any fall. The cable can also be used as aid to climbing, and additional climbing aids, such as iron rungs (stemples), pegs, carved steps are often provided. Thus via ferratas allow otherwise dangerous routes to be undertaken without the risks associated with unprotected scrambling and climbing or the need for climbing equipment such as ropes.
