What people are saying about Dimitris
Aine
Dimitris's guiding was excellent. He led my sister and I plus our 3 boys (13, 13 and 12) up the mountain via many varied and beautiful landscapes, doing his best to keep it interesting for the kids and giving many explanations along the way. He took opportunities to get away from the "highway" to experience a quieter side of the mountain. He kept a close eye on motivation levels, energy and safety the whole time. We had a fantastic experience!

Our guide Dimitris was incredible and made this trip a dream come true. His knowledge of the areas and the best climbs was unbelievable . We traveled to Greece during a very hot time and he knew down to a minute what part of the mountain will be in the shade and when. He also went above and beyond showing us best local spots to eat and go for a walk. And besides being an amazing guide Dimitris is a great person, fun and easy going. I would 100 percent recommend booking with him. I know i will:) Already looking .
