Tempi Valley – Elena’s Block

Petalo Elena’s, Larisa Prefecture

Petalo Elenas is one of the oldest climbing crags in North Greece. The block is located on the right side while you are driving from Thessaloniki to Athens and crossing the Tempi Valley. You will notice 3 large caves. The access is identical to the crag “Tempi LaLao sector”.

After passing the crag “Lalao” you continue walking for 20 more minutes on the old train rails. It is difficult to spot the beginning of the trail but keep in mind that it starts when you are under the 3 big caves. Climbing during the winter is enjoyable only in sunny days and during the summer only late afternoon when the sun leaves the crag.

Total approach: 40-50 minutes
