LIMESTONE ON THE BLUE SEA: CLIMB AND SAIL AROUND KALYMNOS

Rock Climbing

What you'll do

This is an 8-day Sail and Climbing Expedition in Kalymnos, where the boat is your floating home and your best advantage. You’ll start in Kos Marina, stock the boat, and then sail into the Aegean to unlock Kalymnos in the most effortless way possible: anchoring close to the action and accessing remote sectors directly from the water. Over the week, you’ll climb on world-class limestone across iconic areas like Vathy, Telendos, Arginonta, Palionisos, and the legendary Sikati Cave—with the daily rhythm that makes this trip addictive: swim, sail, climb, repeat. No long car transfers, no crowded accommodation hubs—just clean logistics, big views, and real Aegean atmosphere. You’ll be supported by a professional Skipper and a UIAGM-certified Mountain Guide, and you don’t need sailing experience to join. Expect an authentic island immersion too: quiet inlets, small fishing villages, and dinners in local tavernas. This is Kalymnos the fun, efficient, sea-drenched way

Lorenzo and Vertical Sailing Tour

Lorenzo dedicated his life to enjoying the mountains by doing all the possible mountain sports. In 2013, his vision opened up, discovering a new, immense and beautiful playground on the shores of the Med. Ski instructor in the winter, he became a certified Mountain Guide in 2024, and he continues working full time for the VST while skippering the tours in the summer. Don’t mess with him with the food, the parties, and all the beautiful things… As in life, there isn’t only climbing and sailing!
