Punto Caramelo is a steep 30-metre sport route in Grande Grotta on Kalymnos, Greece. The route follows the cave’s characteristic limestone tufas and stalactite formations, with sustained climbing and a harder sequence near the top.

Grande Grotta is one of Kalymnos’ most iconic climbing sectors, known for its heavily overhanging terrain, three-dimensional climbing and views across the Aegean Sea towards Telendos.
