What people are saying about Dimitris
Artemise
Concerning climbing itself, Dimitris is a very skilled and sympathetic instructor. He showed us nice routes and we never felt unsafe or pushed. No complaints about that. However, while we had organized our climbing trip according to his availability, he double-booked a hike with another person 500 km away, starting on the last day of our own trip. At the last minute, he "subcontracted" his responsibilities to somebody else, who was a far better instructor but also unfortunately less available. We thus had to shorten our trip while we had arranged (and paid for) 3 full days.

Dimitris is an experienced climbing guide who always finds the best climbing areas based on the weather, temperature, and my climbing level. He ensures I have a fantastic climbing experience.
Malia
Awesome experience and memories that will last a lifetime! When you book a climb with Dimitris you’re not just climbing in Greece, you are getting the full day experience of a day in the life of a Greek climber! We spent the day site seeing, at a private beach, climbing of course, then a nice local spot for food to finish off the night! Thank you so much Dimitris, this guide is highly recommended to any and all levels of climbers.
Khalid
This was one of the highlights of my life so far. Dimitris is a true professional and knows the mountain like its hos back yard. I felt safe and was well taken care of. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an adventure and a true mountain guide!
