The “Kolofotias” Sector of Varasova

The “Kolofotias” sector is one of the most distinctive and energetic climbing areas of Mount Varasova. Its humorous name, which roughly translates to “Firelight” or “Spark,” comes from the first ascents made there — intense, passionate climbs that truly lit up the rock! The limestone is of excellent quality, featuring steep and overhanging faces, small holds, and dynamic sequences that demand endurance and technique.

 

Located near the sea, Kolofotias offers magnificent views over the Patraic Gulf. Its routes are known for their energy and flow, making it a favorite among experienced climbers who enjoy athletic moves and the raw spirit of Varasova. A sector full of spark, sunshine, and character — true to its name.
