We had a fantastic experience with Stavros as our mountain guide. He was highly professional throughout, making everyone feel safe and well-supported, especially during more technical scrambling sections. What impressed us even more was his strong sense of responsibility toward the mountain environment. After accidentally dropping his reusable water bottle down a steep section, he returned later with ropes to retrieve it, a small but powerful gesture that shows his respect for nature. Stavros is not just a guide, but a true guardian of the mountains. Highly recommended.

Stavros is amazing, he knows what he is doing so you”ll have the best experience while hiking and climbing! Safety comes first but when possible he is in for a good laugh aswel! 5
Thanos was an amazing Guide from the time he initially communicated with my wife and I, to the last minute when he returned us to our vehicle!  We took the one-day private tour, which was more arduous, but Thanos again kept the pace slow and made the whole climb very memorable!5

The trip was very organised and professional. Stravos our guide was very helpful, kind, caring and professional. He looked after is all the way to the top and back down. 5
We met Stavros the night before our summit of Mytikas in Refuge A. Stavros briefed us on what to expect for the next day, answered any questions we had and fitted us with our helmets and harnesses so we could be ready for the morning.

We set off at 6:15am with headlamps and began our adventure. Stavros guided us to a vantage point where we could enjoy the beautiful sunrise. He provided us with interesting information about the area and the mountain throughout each section.

When we reached Skala it was time to put on our helmets, harnesses and be roped together to summit Mytikas. This final section was daunting but with the equipment provided and clear guidance being provided by Stavros we successfully reached the top. I would not have attempted to reach the summit without a guide, but Stavros directed us clearly and safely, allowing us to accomplish our goal. It was worth it in the end as the view from the top was breathtaking.

I would highly recommend booking Stavros as your guide to summit Mytikas. He is very knowledgeable, gives clear instructions, makes you feel safe and is good fun to be with! We had a fantastic day out which would not have been possible without Stavros and will be a great memory for years to come.

When we arrived back to the Refuge we had a celebratory beer with Stavros to finish off an exciting day.5

Elizabeth

The guided hike was wonderful! Our guide knew the area very well and made sure our hike was safe and fun.

Sarah

Our hike up Mt. Olympus with Stavros was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He was kind, patient, and incredibly safety-conscious - we truly could not have reached Scala Peak in the snowy conditions without his guidance and expertise. Stavros made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, and his passion for the mountain really shone through. What made the day even more special was that my boyfriend surprised me with a proposal at the summit! Stavros somehow managed to discreetly capture the entire moment on video, it’s absolutely perfect and something we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. We can’t thank him enough for helping make this such a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re planning to hike Mt. Olympus, we couldn’t recommend Stavros more highly, he’s simply the best!
