Well, few hours might have been understating it (probably 4 or 5 or
so). It's some years since I was there. You should be able to ask
for info at some bus station. There is also a train going to Athens
IIRC, but that took longer.

At the time I was not a climber, but it was still great hiking around
there. IIRC, the stuff there does not take to pro, but you have
drilled routes all around. Difficulty was something like UIAA 6 and
above for most of the stuff (that's what I heard afterwards when
talking with people that actually did climb there), so probably not
too hot unless you are a frequent climber.
