He helped me out to get from Athenes to Litochoro and next day we started to climb Olympus. I just gonna say it was trip of my life.5
If you are lucky enough to secure Dimitris as your guide/ teacher , you have struck gold. He is incredibly experienced, adaptable , good fun and will make sure your trip is unforgettable. I can not recommend him enough . Thank you Dimitris for you guiding and support in reaching the summit of Mount Olympus. Luke 5
Despite challenging snow conditions our trip up Skolio and Skala went smoothly. Dimitris planned the timings and equipment perfectly, as well as being a cheerful chap with buckets of experience and good humour. We had more fitness than we had mountaineering experience which proved to be perfectly balanced with Dimitris' help, we could see how he can probably cater to any level. Don't forget to treat him to a well-deserved goat soup when you get down!5

I had 2 really great days of climbing with Dimitris. He chose beautiful routes that were appropriate for me and he impressed me with his professionalism, expertise, and safety. Add his climbing stories & interest in listening to mine and they were truly memorable days.5

I can't imagine a better guide than Dimitris. He has been mountaineering and climbing for close to 50 years (he started very young!) and is a wealth of information. I am an intermediate climber and my husband is a beginner. Dimitris picked a crag that catered to both of us - both fun and challenging. I felt very safe with Dimitris, and I felt that my husband was in good hands. On our short hike to the crag, he pointed out different wildflowers and plants, and which were edible or medicinal. Once there, Dimitris asked if he could watch us climb and give beta and tips. We were happy for him to share his knowledge with us. On top of all of this, he is a lovely, kind person. It was a joy to spend time with Dimitris. I hope we can return to Greece and climb with him again.5

We had an amazing day with Dimitris and he catered perfectly to our requirements. 5
Hands-down one of our best travel experiences ever! Firstly, I was so impressed with the level of communication from our guide — right from the start he was accessible, friendly, accommodating, and very responsive to all of our inquiries over text and email. Dimitris planned a perfect outing for us and took care of every last detail. Best of all, he is one of the kindest, warmest, and most engaging people to spend time with. His guiding kept us safe and secure. We hope to climb with him again one day!5

Amazing trip in a stunning location climbing with the Arvanitias coast behind us. Dimitris was very kind and even have me a lift back to Athens from Nafplio the next day! 5

Dimitris is a very experienced and knowledgeable guide, I couldn’t have asked for better company and guidance ascending my very first mountain! I really enjoyed my hike and would highly recommend him.5
Amazing hike! We felt safe and secure during the two days hike including the climb to Mitikas. Great having an experienced and professional guide who took care of the whole group - age 21 to 61! Thank you from all of us🇳🇴!5

You can control many things bar the weather. The weather gods were not on my side, but my guide in Dimitris definitely was. When the storm hit and the refuges closed Dimitris let me know straight away and came up with an alternative adventure. He and I had some communication almost immediately after I booked and he had asked enough questions to know what I might like. We had arranged a private climbing day when I arrived in Athens and had also summited Mount Taygetos in time for the sunrise. I may not have summited Mount Olympus, but the adventure we had will be one that is long in the memory. So much variety of activity of climbing,hiking and walking. He helped me book in to my accommodation when the directions were incorrect - I think I might still be wandering the streets had he not called the hotel. If you are a foody- then his choice of Greek Tavernas and restaurants will have you eating the best food. Dimitris knowledge and enthusiasm of all things mountain shone through our days together. He took me to some amazing places for adventure and food. He is welcoming and engaging and I will be back for a further adventure. 5

My boyfriend and I did this climbing excursion together. It was AMAZING!!! It can't get better than this. The guide, Dimitris was supportive, experienced, and very friendly. We laughed, told stories, and climbed a lot (of course). Made a lot of beautiful and fun memories. 5
We climbed 3 days with Dimitris in Greece - he is a very knowledgeable about the climbing areas and showed us to 3 different crags while we were there. He is a very safe and experienced guide and wants his clients to have a great time while in Greece. He also showed us to some great restaurants in the area as well as coffee shops. I recommend him for your future adventures and look forward to climbing with him again. 5

What people are saying about Dimitris

Artemise

Concerning climbing itself, Dimitris is a very skilled and sympathetic instructor. He showed us nice routes and we never felt unsafe or pushed. No complaints about that. However, while we had organized our climbing trip according to his availability, he double-booked a hike with another person 500 km away, starting on the last day of our own trip. At the last minute, he "subcontracted" his responsibilities to somebody else, who was a far better instructor but also unfortunately less available. We thus had to shorten our trip while we had arranged (and paid for) 3 full days.

Awesome experience and memories that will last a lifetime! When you book a climb with Dimitris you’re not just climbing in Greece, you are getting the full day experience of a day in the life of a Greek climber! We spent the day site seeing, at a private beach, climbing of course, then a nice local spot for food to finish off the night! Thank you so much Dimitris, this guide is highly recommended to any and all levels of climbers.
