Erwin
Best day of climbing. Very skillful guide who did everything is his power to give us the best day we could, and he succeeded with flying colors. It was really hot the day we were going to climb, Dimitris found us a spot in the shade for a full day of climbing. Afterwards went for a beer and a bite town.
Jordan
Dimitri was an expert in the local terrain throughout a vast region. He is professional and knowledgeable in all aspects of climbing, plus know how to have a good laugh outside of the ropes. 12/10 would climb again.
Nikolaos
Once more time I had fantastic time with Dimitris. He introduced me to the amazing Anatoli and Kondyli sectors in Nauplion climbing area. Dimitris helped me to improve my technique with his tips and enthusiasm in a short amount of time. Definitely recommending Climbing trip to Nauplion with Dimitris all year around.
