Description

Climbing in Arkasa is limited to four small, but nice sectors, among which the most interesting is Baywatch and Octopus. You will find here climbing routes for beginners and intermediate climbers. The biggest advantage of this place is an existing tourist base - good accommodation facilities and a nearby beach.
The Baywatch sector is a great plase for families. You can climb close to the beautiful beach.

The town of Arkasa itself seems to be the best place for climbers to stay. It's close to some crags, has great restaurants and a super nice sandy beach. Perfect for families.

History

Exploration of this area began in 2019 thanks to Artur Pierzchniak, who prepared the Acropolis sector. The following year, Piotr Barabaś put in hard work to clean for all the kids the Disneyland sector, and another team from Poland prepared the Octopus sector. The latest acquisition is the Baywatch sector, completed in 2024.
All materials, as always, were provided by Piotr. Thank you, curator ;)
