Paligremos is an iconic limestone wall rising dramatically on the east side of Plakias Beach. Renowned as one of the best climbing crags in Crete, this impressive formation offers a thrilling challenge for climbers of all levels.
The wall itself is strikingly flat, vertical, and slightly overhanging, featuring splitter cracks and scattered tufas. Climbing here is all about steep slabs, technical crimps, side pulls, and pockets, demanding both strength and precision.
Beyond the incredible climbing, Paligremos boasts a prime location—perched right on the edge of a stunning beach and just a short distance from the town. Whether you’re tackling its challenging routes or simply taking in the breathtaking views, this spot offers an unforgettable climbing experience in the heart of Crete’s natural beauty.
When to come
The ideal time to climb at Paligremos is during spring and autumn, when temperatures are mild and conditions are perfect for outdoor climbing.
In summer, climbing is still possible as long as you stick to the shade. Fortunately, the cliff remains shaded from early morning until around 3:00 PM, allowing for comfortable climbing even on warmer days.
