Karpathos Climb & Adventure Fest 6-7.10.2025

 

For many years, on this beautiful island, climbers have been developing new routes and expanding the climbing potential. This has been recognized by the local community, which has decided to invite you to the Climbing Festival.

What do you need to do? Simply fly to the island between October 6th and 7th (or stay longer) and have fun with us!

For climbers, numerous activities have been organized around the village of Finiki. The first 200 participants will receive four days of accommodation, dinner, airport transfers and a valuable starter package for free! Climbers will also find plenty of excellent rock formations where we will hold competitions, with the main prize being the opportunity to open and name your own climbing route. In the evening, there will be a dance party on a stunning beach.

You can’t miss this! Come climb, have fun, and show the people of Karpathos that climbers are wonderful people! It means a lot—for us and for them.
