Rock Climbing in Crete with a Guide at Rethymnon, Plakias beach

George! He is the best guide ever! He collected us from our hotel, took us to a wonderful spot over looking the ocean to warm up on some easy routes at a beautiful location! He had climbing shoes ready in our size for us and all the gear. We felt 100% safe, George was so encouraging, I climbed the hardest outdoor grade I’ve ever completed and part of that was due to all of his encouragement and great knowledge about the routes, and we were in shade the entire time (July)! I had mentioned we were interested in a nearby waterfall but unable to get there and he went out of his way to take us on the way home. Excellent guide and a great guy! Highly recommend.

I had a great climbing day with Georgios and can highly recommend him as a guide! He was very informative, helpful, and adapted the climbing routes perfectly to my skill level. We started with some easier climbs and later moved on to more challenging ones – always with helpful tips and a focus on safety. I really appreciated that he took the whole day just for me and even brought some typical Cretan snacks to share. If you're looking for a fantastic climbing experience by the sea – whether you're a beginner or more advanced – this is definitely it!

I booked this for myself and my 17 year old son, who is a keen indoor boulderer. It was a great day out in a spectacular setting above Plakias beach. We both loved it. George was a great host. He tailored the day to suit our differing abilities. He was enthusiastic but relaxed, and very encouraging. He patiently explained how to use all the equipment and any techniques needed. He also communicated very well prior to the day when making arrangements on what to bring and where to meet. Highly recommended.
