Our Climbing courses: Beginners, Level 1, and Level 2.
Guides will teach you the essential skills needed, equipment, movement, ropes, anchoring, belaying, and skills on each level. You don’t need to have any prior climbing experience to take part. Once you’ve tried out these new techniques, you will have the confidence of outdoor climbing.
Beginners: We initiate with Via Ferrata, Abseil (rappelling), and an easy top rope climb.
Level 1: Get ready to be more into the game and learn how to climb with your partner. Basic knots, Belaying, Rope management, Climbing gear, and Master points.

Great hike! Strongly recommend - I highly recommend this hike/rock scramble to the summit of Mt. Olympus. The views are spectacular, the trek is very safe with this guide, the guides are very friendly and experienced, and I think you will enjoy the time. Conveniently, it’s all done in one day. I had a lot of fun and would do it again.

A surreal experience! - This is one of those life-changing trips you’ll always be glad you did. Thomas and the team do a great job making sure everyone has a good time. The climbing is fairly easy at the start (just walking), and the parts with ropes are exhilarating. The views are almost otherworldly, and photos don’t quite do it justice (at least on my phone camera).
When I signed up I didn’t know anyone else on the trip. But the whole team and the other hikers were really personable and we had a ton of fun! The hike took around 5 hours (with breaks), and we stopped at an outdoor café before and after to relax a bit. All things done and with driving, it was about a 12-hour day, and an absolutely AMAZING one!

Mytikas Climb - Thomas made the experience fun and safe for everyone involved. He and his crew were incredibly motivating and helpful throughout the day. I would highly recommend Thomas to anyone considering climbing Mytikas. What's more is that Thomas shared, with all of us on the tour, pictures and video that he took throughout the day. Great memories, thanks Thomas!!

Mount Olympus Adventure - This trip was amazing from beginning to end. I can’t thank Thomas, Kostas and Vasili enough. To have such Godlike trainers will make this adventure a memorable one. Safe and fun with an ultimate goal.
We laughed an incredible amount up to base camp and we laughed just as much up Mount Olympus. An undeniably great experience and I encourage any travellers to Greece to give this a try. You won’t be disappointed once you reach the top. Give these Godlike gentlemen a call. Until we meet again boys 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🧗

Home of the Gods - My first mountain climbing experience - I am an absolute novice in mountain climbing but passionate about nature and Greek mythology so I took a leap of faith and decided this trip was the best moment to experience something new and also visit the "Home of the 12 Gods". Thomas was a perfect guide, always made us feel safe, encouraging and mentoring everyone along the way.
Thank you once again for an amazing experience!
