Approach – Access
Access is very easy. From Thessaloniki follow the signs to Edessa and before Edessa you turn in the intersection towards Loutra Pozar. Signs are all along the road so it’s impossible to get lost. Entering the village of Loutraki you will see the characteristic Tower feature on your right, where most of the routes are located. Unfortunately the range of difficulty makes it appropriate only for climbers that seek relatively easy routes. To reach the rocks turn right in the middle of the road to the direction of the Tower and the canyon. There is a sign indicating the climbing crag. Park your car by the small chapel. The trail begins just cross the river. There are some loose rocks in the routes Υγρασία (1st and 3rd pitch) and Ιπτάμενο Φίδι (3rd pitch). The crag is south facing which makes it ideal for the winter. In the summer the climbing is only possible until 11.00am and after 6.00mm
