Parnitha Rock Climbing

Dimitris was awesome! He really did a wonderful job of both teaching and sharing the experience of the climb, surroundings, and people. Ευχαριστώ!!

Had a fabulous day climbing with Dimitris in the marble quarry that the Parthenon was built from! He supplied all equipment and set me up with a suitable group of similarly aged people (as requested). He picked challenging climbs suitable for my level. A truly memorable experience.

I’m extremely happy with the ease with which I could book via your site reliable and experienced guide. Thank you so very much, and I’ve started to recommend your site to my friends. Dimitris is not only an awesome guide, but a wonderful person who was always looking out to give me the best experience I can have when he found out how much I love climbing! He is the Best!

I would not recommend Dimitri to future travellers because he would spend the day on his phone constantly making calls. Sometimes, when he was supposed to be belaying us ( holding the rope properly to support the person climbing) he would leg go of the rope completely, which is beyond dangerous or would be holding the rope with one hand on the rope and the other on his phone. I did not feel safe with him belaying me and I did not appreciate the constant disruption of his phone on the trip. He took us to a nice place and the climbing was exceptional but he, the guide worstened the experience for me. I really cannot understand your behavior Anna. After driving 150 Kim. from western Peloponnesus the previous day, woke up at 5:30, drove another 150 to pick you up to take you in one of the most beautiful sectors of the country )instead of another not nice close by), bringing fruits and cold water, offering you MY shoes without charging you, taking pictures of you and getting you back (12 hours the whole thing) and the most surreal of you after stepping in the dusty ground, putting your feet on my back seat, YOU INSISTED IN NOT PAYING ME. After I persuaded you I had to wait for you 15’ in an amazing small road with crazy traffic to give me 20+ euros less. AND FOR ALL THIS YOU GAVE ME AN ACE saying that I was on the phone all the time? I was on the phone when we were not climbing. Now are you asking for the pictures? Shame on you Anna. Dimitris.

Dimitris was skilled, accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I had an amazing climbing experience and learned a ton. Would definitely recommend this guide and experience.

Had a awesome time and was a great way to spend a day in Greece

2 full days of exploring Greece - climbing, eating and sun bathing. An extraordinary guide and person. Thank you, Dimitris

Dimitris was so incredible! A great teacher and person and I'm so happy I decided to book this trip with him. He was so accommodating, taking my friend and I to multiple climbing sites and ensuring both of us had a fantastic time, despite having wildly different climbing backgrounds. It was so incredible to see Napflio and learn about its history (Dimitris is knowledgeable about way more than just climbing). I learned so much from Dimitris and would book again in a heartbeat. Could not recommend highly enough!

Travel back went super smoothly! Thanks for all your help with getting me (and Lauren back) safely and easily! Hope you’re having a very nice relaxing day!! Thanks so much for all the pictures and the best day yesterday!

Fantastic experience! Dimitri was a perfect guide who made sure to cater the climb for my son's ability and interest. Will definitely use Dimitri again!

Dimitris is an amazing person. My wife and I did an 3 day climbing Tour with him. We felt very comfortable with him. We definetly will come back. We not only found a Guide, but a Friend.

Fantastic guide, really friendly and helpful. Will be contacting Dimitris again in future

Fantastic trip for a few days climbing!!! I came for one day but you could spend more here. I have been climbing for 4yrs and wanted a small trip where I could holiday and climb. Nafpilo is such a beautiful city with lots to explore and do. Dimitris is a fantastic guide, great person and cbrilliant climber. he took me to the local Climbing Sector Anatoli which is 5mins drive from Nafplio and has easy to hard grades in the 5's and 6's. I would highly recommend Dimitris as a guide, you won't be disappointed!!

Dimitris was super fun to climb with and managed to deal with our very diverse skill levels. Would highly recommend.

Dimitris was an awesome guide. He is very friendly and knowledgeable. He was always quick to respond when planning our day so we got to climb some very fun cliffs.

It was a joyful journey! The views from the mountains were fascinating! Dimitris is a very experienced climber, guide and trainer! He encouraged me through all the climbing and further wrightly guessing all my climbing wishes so I had a unique chance to climb on the edge of my possibilities and feel so excited and happy about it! Looking forward to repeat one day this rock-climbing journey!

Best climbing experience I’ve ever had! Dimitris was so helpful and instructive. We had multiple inexperienced climbers in our group yet he was still able to make them feel secure and comfortable. The mountain he took us to was beautiful and the routes were easy to navigate for all levels. His vast knowledge of climbing was very evident which he communicated very gracefully to our group. He also shared much of the history of the area and Penteli mountain. His encouragement inspired our group members to continue climbing back home. If you’re looking for a wholesome inclusive experience, look no further!

Dimitri was amazing! He was an amazing guide and a great coach for the day as well. He even brought along two other local climbing friends so we could do and experience more. You could tell he was well respected in the area, as other climbers were quick to say hello to him and to give us good information. All in all, it was worth every penny and more. I will definitely hire him again when I travel.

Dimitris is the best! Multi-crag climb with music and guide book authors provided at no charge!

Dimitri was very helpful and attentive. We sports climb routes in the parnitha mountain very close (about 35-45 mins by car) to Athens. The area looks very nice and I enjoyed the trip very much. Thank you very much Dimitri! It is very much appreciated!

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.

Very friendly, had a great laugh. First experience of outdoor climbing and it was amazing! If we weren't so tired due to the heat, Dimitris would have had us climbing a lot more!

Dimitris was a fantastic guide and climbing partner. His communication was excellent, even months in advance. Our day of climbing was truly a full day, so make sure to pack a lunch and snacks! Dimitris took us to an amazing, secluded spot and catered to our climbing skill and style. He is an excellent climber and was also willing to give us some pointers on how to improve. I would highly recommend Dimitris and would love to climb with him again in the future. Definitely a must for a trip to Athens (or surrounding area)!

Pavlos was friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable as a guide. My wife and I had a perfect day of climbing in the beautiful Parnitha mountains just outside of Athens. Thanks again Pavlos!

Dimitris is nice and kind person, and also experienced guide. I had a nice time!

I Odd Arne Haukeland was climbing with dimitris Sotirakis in Athen last week. I was verry happy about the way he has run this tour for my. He was professoonal with the safety, precise at pick up, a good guide, friendly, fast with responding any question I had on email, and service minded. So I will give him my best recommendation.

Pavlos was an excellent guide. Highly professional and accommodating. He was able to match my limited skills with beautiful climbs, while also appropriately challenging me. He was very knowledgeable of Greek history and went above and beyond his role as a guide to help me gain a better understanding of Greece. He was humble about his many mountaineering accomplishments and success in media production only sharing information after I ask. You would be very lucky to spend the day with such an interesting and beautiful person. It was one of the highlights of my week in Greece.

Pavlos is incredible. The entire day was so relaxed and entirely personalized to my preferences and skill level. He took me to some beautiful crags near Athens overlooking a village, and even dropped me off at my ferry afterward! He even taught me lead climbing strategies, since I’d only led a couple times before. 17/10 would recommend! The experience will be much more enjoyable if you have prior climbing experience, and you need to be able to belay Pavlos (don’t worry, he’s not that heavy!)

Booking the trip was smooth and easy. Pavlos was a great guide. He set up a trip that included climbing spots for both my wife and I (we climb at different grades). He was very thoughtful in making the trip fun and challenging for us both. The stories he told about his adventures (he's climbing Everest) were wonderful. He also took us to into the nearby town so we could enjoy local food. It was a great trip and I would certainly recommend Pavlos and explore-share.
