Let me guide you through the unknown climbing spots of Athens. On this custom-made trip just for you, we’ll explore more than 40 crags around the Attika region. Join me for one or more days!
Athens’ main attraction is the Acropolis, but once you discover all these hidden climbing routes, you’ll realize that there’s more than meets the eye in this historic city. Whether you are a climbing expert or a beginner, there’s plenty of options for you in the area or in the nearby Parnitha mountain. For beginners, I’ll give you an introductory course with the basics of rock climbing. For experts, I’ll show you the best routes and give you tips to improve your skills.
One of the best features of the area is that the weather is perfect year-round. If we do encounter some rain or cold climate, I can take you to some of the best indoor climbing and bouldering gyms in the city. I can also take you to do some top-rope climbing. Besides, Athens is full of sightseeing options, so don’t be afraid to book extra days in the city.
Send your request now and follow me for one or more days exploring this incredible city.

I am the vice-president of the Hellenic Mountain Guide Association as well as a mountaineering and climbing instructor of the Hellenic and French Mountaineering Associations. Join me for hiking and rock climbing trips in Greece.

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.

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!

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!!

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.

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)!
