The sweep of rock behind Emborios comprising Kreissal, Kastri Castle and Sophie.
A good winter venue. The site of the ruins of an ancient castle (Kastri) offers a scenic setting. Route names have been removed from rock to preserve this area. Sharp grey rock with pockets.
Helmets are always recommended at this sector as goats above the crag often knock rocks down on unsuspecting climbers
From Massouri take the road to Emborios, just before you enter the village on a sharp left bend there is a white marker on the right side of the road. Park sensibly being careful not to affect residents access. Walk up the short dirt road, go through the gate and up the trail towards the ancient wall at Kastri main. To get to Kreissaal turn left and keep walking until you are just past the big cave. For Sophie turn right at Kastri main and continue upwards for another 5 minutes following the blue marks.
There is a bus service twice daily, morning and afternoon, the driver is normally familiar with the climbing areas.
Park at the left hand bend as you enter Emborios taking care not to obstruct traffic.
