Incredible Day Hiking Mount Parnitha with Dionysios - My husband and I did the one-day private hike on Mount Parnitha with Dionysios, and it was one of the highlights of our trip to Athens. It’s a stunning walk with beautiful views throughout. We're both fit and hike regularly, and Dionysios paced the walk perfectly to suit us. We really appreciated that. Communication in the lead-up to the day was excellent. Everything was well organised, and we felt fully prepared. Dionysios is a genuinely lovely person, very friendly, easy to talk to, and the conversation flowed naturally. His English is exceptional, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens who wants to experience more than just the city centre and the crowds.

Easter hike to remember! - Dionysis took us out in a beautiful Easter morning to have a commune in nature and see the views from above the incredible city of Athens. Just my husband & I were rewarded with views that were a religious experience of natural beauty. We are fit and requested a good pace and we were not disappointed with the level of challenge. A special treat above and beyond his care & company was a traditional cracking of red Easter eggs at the top of the viewpoint. Would highly recommend.

The tour was just myself... - The tour was just myself and the tour guide, Dionysis. The communication prior to the tour was great. He was a very knowledgeable guide and took me on a great hike, being very mindful to check in regularly to make sure I was doing OK and that the pace was good for me. Highly recommend this tour as a great opportunity to get out of the city and explore nature.

Great hiking experience - Excellent experience. It was supposed to be a small group but ended up being myself, my son and Dionysius. Dionysius is a good and calm driver - the curves did not even bother my sensitive stomach. The tour guide was very responsive to everyone's needs and pace on the tour. Enjoyed beautiful views and trees. Lucky to see 3 red deer. Cleanest toilet in Athens at retreat. Thank you.

Amazing Hike in Mount Parnitha! - I recently joined a guided hike in Mount Parnitha, and it was an amazing experience! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, and Dionysis’ passion for nature, deep knowledge of the area, and Greece truly enhanced the adventure. His pace was well-balanced, ensuring that my friend and I felt comfortable and engaged, and he was constantly checking in to make sure we were enjoying the experience. The route itself was very beautiful, and since it was Monday, there were just a handful of people, making the hike peaceful. Dionysis' friendly and professional approach made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a great outdoor activity in nature close to Athens.

Wonderful hike in nature - I had a fantastic day hiking with Dionysis on Parnitha. He is excellent company, very thoughtful and conscientious (he visited the mountain the day before to make sure conditions were suitable). His English is extremely good, so you will have no problems communicating. The scenery is really beautiful and the views are stunning- we were able to see out to the mountains of Euboea and the islands close to Athens. I highly recommend getting out of Athens for just one day to see this incredible landscape and I would definitely recommend Dionysis as your guide.

Fantastic hiking experience in Parnitha! - I had an amazing time hiking in Parnitha Mountain. The views were beautiful especially from Skipiza watchtower where we could see the sea and the nearby mountains. The hike through the forest was peaceful and we even spotted some wildlife. Our guide was excellent - super friendly and knowledgeable and made sure the pace worked for everyone. He also shared interesting facts about the area and kept the group energised. It was the perfect escape from Athens and I would definitely recommend this hike to anyone looking for a nature adventure close to the city!
