Certainly, when you get on the ship for Tinos, you cannot imagine that you are going to a rising Greek destination regarding the climbing and bouldering. Unless you are a fan who has done his homework. If not, the time has come for you to enrich your knowledge on the Tinian activities and learn that the specific sports are a trend in the island and also that they attract a lot of tourists gaining constantly ground on their preferences.
Climbing, the “new” one
The last few years, together with the diverse Tinian landscape, new sports are also unfolded on the island, such as rock climbing. A climbing area in Tinos was formed in 2007 by known Greek climbers at the steep slope of Exombourgo hill and with the help of a program of the European Union. If not a lifetime experience, climbing on the granite boulder of special quality which supervises the lower parts of Tinos, is incredible!
In order to reach safely the top and admire the unimpeded, panoramic view, you will ascend without any mechanical help, by carrying special equipment, with proper technique-movement of your body and having got the necessary training for your optimal safety. At the organized climbing areas, there are permanent metallic safety locks in specific routes on the rock from with the climber passes his rope.
Bouldering at the lower parts
If the use of rope is required for climbing at high rocks, bouldering at low rocks of up to 5m high is realized only with the help of special mattresses which provide safety. Bouldering is an activity that became known in the beginning of the 90’s by the best -perhaps- climber worldwide, Chris Sharma. At this moment, the countless granite rocks at Volax and Livada villages have made Tinos a famous destination for the lovers of the sport while the rock of Exombourgo is considered the largest boulder area in Europe.
