TOURISTA

The “Tourista” route was opened on 26/10/2007 by K. Mougkolias and G. Voutyropoulos.
The line lies between the routes “Gonia” and “Zacharini–Xynou Dihedral.”

It’s an adventure-style route, equipped with the necessary fixed protection and offering enjoyable moderate climbing.

Pitch 1 (60 m): Ends with the crux (V+) at the final meters of the large dihedral.

Pitch 2 (50 m): Begins with the hardest move (VI), then trends left toward “Gonia” to reach a loose block, which is bypassed on the right. At the piton, the route heads even further right into easier ground. At the top, there are two exit options — directly through the roof (VI+) or right toward a characteristic patch (IV).

Pitch 3 (40 m): Coincides with an unknown older attempt and remains intact without additional bolts. A distinctive feature is the second piton with an old carabiner, indicating a retreat point. Belay at a tree.

Descent:
From the last belay, descend to a lower olive tree (slings with ring). From there, rappels follow the rest of the belays of the route.
Since the olive trees are in poor condition, it’s better not to rappel directly from them.
Alternatively, make a short traverse left to reach the belays of “Gonia” (R3 is nearby, though not visible at first).
Rappels on “Gonia” are: R3–R2 (45 m), R2–R1 (50 m), R1–R0 (30 m).
