Kokkinovrachos
Kokkinovrachos, the massive red limestone face
rising above the north side of Leonidio, is its trademark.
The word kokkinovrachos literally means "red cliff". With
a height of up to 250 meters, Kokkinovrachos features
several bolted multi-pitches (some up to 8 pitches and
240 meters long) alongside single-pitch sectors.
