What people are saying about Stavros
Elizabeth
The guided hike was wonderful! Our guide knew the area very well and made sure our hike was safe and fun.
Sarah
Our hike up Mt. Olympus with Stavros was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He was kind, patient, and incredibly safety-conscious - we truly could not have reached Scala Peak in the snowy conditions without his guidance and expertise. Stavros made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way, and his passion for the mountain really shone through. What made the day even more special was that my boyfriend surprised me with a proposal at the summit! Stavros somehow managed to discreetly capture the entire moment on video, it’s absolutely perfect and something we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. We can’t thank him enough for helping make this such a magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re planning to hike Mt. Olympus, we couldn’t recommend Stavros more highly, he’s simply the best!
