Description
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.

Dimitris is the best climbing guide you'll find in Athens. You can tell he knows a ton about the sport and is a legend in the Greek climbing community. He knows all the best spots around Athens and made it super easy to figure out all of the details of our trip. He is very personable and it's a treat to hear about some of his mountaineering stories. He clearly cares about his job/passion and will provide you with an excellent day of personalized climbing. Thanks Dimitris!

Dimitris is truly exceptional, incredible experience and passion for climbing and mountaineering that becomes noticeable from the very first moment you meet him. My climbing excursion with Dimitris stays unforgettable, it was amazing, not only did he introduce me to breathtaking climbing spots, but he also taught me invaluable knowledge and skills along the way. I wholeheartedly recommend a climbing trip with Dimitris, it ensures an experience that will leave a lasting impression on you, far beyond the end of the excursion.

Dimitris was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about rock climbing and I learned a lot. The routes were challenging but he kept the climbs within our skill level and locations he chose were absolutely beautiful. As an added bonus, he provided a lot of history about Greece and even took us to a taverna for an amazing meal, not in a touristy area. Highly recommend a climb with 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!
