Beginner Climbing Tour in Makrades, Corfu

While most visitors explore Corfu from its streets or shores, the island’s real magic unfolds from above. This climbing tour offers a unique chance to soak in panoramic views of the Ionian coast and the Diapondian Islands—an unforgettable way to experience Corfu’s natural beauty.

No prior climbing experience is needed, just a basic level of fitness. The tour is also suitable for children aged 7 and up. Price for children under 12: 70€.

The climbing session lasts around 2 hours and takes place in the peaceful village of Makrades, at the end of the famous Donkey Trail—easily accessible by car. Depending on the season, the tour is offered in the morning (between 9:00 and 13:00 while it’s still shaded) or in the evening during the golden hours of sunset.

You’ll be introduced to simple climbing techniques before ascending using the “top-rope” method—the safest style of climbing. You’ll be securely harnessed and attached to a rope that’s anchored at the top of the route, ensuring a safe and supportive experience.

  • star ratingWow, what a time we had rock'n'climbing in Corfu! Big shoutout to Iakovos and his buddy. They were super chill, warm and friendly, and they even gave us cool tips about places to eat and secret beaches to check out.

    Everything was easy-peasy from the get-go. Iakovos was flexible. communication was speedy and friendly, and they had all the gear we needed, even a flashlight.

    The best part? Climbing during the golden hour. The breathtaking view of Porto Timoni as the sun set was truly magical. Surprised my boyfriend with this as his birthday gift, and he was over the moon. Iakovos even shared with us some videos and pictures they made during the experience, so we have a special memory to look back at.

    If you're visiting Corfu, I can't stress enough how much you need to try this with Iakovos. It's a must-do and was a highlight of our trip.

    A heartfelt thanks to the team for making this so special for us! Wishing you all the success you deserve. Keep up the excellent work! 🙂

  • star ratingMy friend and I have been in Corfu last week for a short vacation. We stumbled across the chance to live this experience thanks to a brochure at the rental car office. I called to know more details, and in a while they gave me all the details about the activity being very kind and friendly. The day of the climbing experience, they have been friendly and professional as well for all the time helping me to go over my limits in a very exciting and safe way! I suggest you to try even if you’ve never climbed 😉

  • star ratingAn amazing day out and well worth it for anyone coming to Corfu . The location is one of the best parts about it and overlooks one of the bays of Corfu . Me and my brothers were beginners with a bit of bouldering experience. The real thing is twice as fun being able to make your own routes and is suitable for all levels. I would highly recommend it. The instructors Iakovos and Sam were also very informative , supportive and had some interesting stories about living on the island. Ended up being my favourite trip on Corfu and couldn’t recommend it enough !!

  • star ratingAn amazing experience in a breathtaking setting.

    The sector is really good for beginners, as the routes are rather easy, but for the more advanced climbers do not worry: there is a challenging crimpy 6a that requires strong leg work.

  • star ratingI had a really great time. Iakovos and Emilios, his helper, were super friendly and clear with the directions even when English isn't their first language. They progressed the session really well, starting with climbs for beginners and then moving the ropes to slightly more challenging ones when they could see we could manage. I felt really safe. The views were amazing and I would recommend Rock and Climb to anyone who wants to have a go at rock climbing in a beautiful location.
