About Karavi:

Karavi was named after the characteristic sweep of the horseshoe (No. 20 route) that resembles a ship's prow. The climbing field is an ancient quarry possibly from the Roman period or earlier. Practically all the routes here are exceptional in movement and aesthetics. Each route has something different to offer, with slabs, overhangs, ridges and dihedrals.
Approach: To reach the Karavi climbing area, you have to access Katechaki avenue from either Mesoghion avenue, Kesariani Cemetery, Ilioupoli or Vironas. Specifically from Vironas take the Archiepiskopos Athinon Chrysostomos avenue. After passing Vironas Cemetery you reach Katechaki avenue. Cross it and continue towards Saketa military camp. You are required to leave identification with the soldiers at the gate and can then continue towards the Monastery of Koutala.
