Been done many (many) times before but always worth a re-visit, looking for recomendations for quality routes (I know they're all good!) in the 6b-7b range

There's always the 'classics' but with so many great routes on Kalymnos there's bound to be lots of unsung gems and there's always new areas opening up with great routes that haven't made it to a guidebook yet.

What are your favourites ?

Everything on Olympic wall. It’s a bit of a slog by kalymnos standards so keeps its quiet (relative to odyssey which you walk past). Very early start needed as it gets the sun earlyish. 
 

Obviously there are great routes all over the show but the further you walk the less likelihood it’s gonna be rammed. Well, perhaps not the case with secret garden.

As stated they're all great but a couple of my faves in that range from last year were:

and

Heading back Sept/Oct so will probably have a bunch of new favourites to add after that ... 

Psyched!

Not so much a recommendation of quality routes as I've never been to it, but this new sector looks like it might have some decent routes in that range https://climbkalymnos.com/griffig-a-new-inland-crag-with-lots-of-shade-in-t...

Also it has shade all day and a nice breeze.  Definitely worth some attention, especially if, like me, you're allergic to early mornings!
