About Kalymnos — Sikati Cave

The most remote major cave on Kalymnos — a 30-minute uphill hike into the interior of the island reaches a huge north-facing amphitheatre studded with tufa blobs and stalactites. The overhanging cave is rain-proof and the aspect gives full-day shade, making Sikati one of the very few crags that stays climbable through both a July heat-wave and an autumn downpour. Hardest lines on the island; entry-level is around 7a with a strong seam of 7c–8b including Lolita. Best months all year for shade-tolerant climbers; the walk in is worth an early start in summer.
