The great outdoors' experience in Greece ! For old and young, experienced and beginners.
``OLYMPOS TREK``, an Outdoor Activity Provider, based in Larissa (Eastern Thessaly), specialized in outdoor activities and multi activity holidays, has been offering its professional services since 1995.
A pioneer in this field in Eastern Thessaly, ``OLYMPOS TREK``, has literally created and developed, all those outdoor activities like canyoning, via ferrata / cordata, rock climbing, mountain biking, rafting, river canoeing, sea kayaking, adventure course activities (climbing, abseiling, fly foxing, high ropes) e.t.c. on a professional and organised basis.
Vasilis Gravanis, the founder and owner of “Olympos Trek” comes from the mountaineering world. He has been a very keen mountaineer and rock climber for over 45 years. The thousands of vertical rock climbing steps, the endless hours of rambling along obsolete mountain slopes, his four Himalayan expeditions and most of all, his love for the natural world around us resulted in sound knowledge and great experience.
His main drive was the exploration of the unknown and the new! Finally he knew pretty well, that his native land more than anything else had a great potential for the outdoor active world. It was only natural that mountaineering and climbing where to be followed by canyoning , rafting, sea kayaking, river canoeing, mountain biking and so on.
From that time onwards, many ideas came to fruition, not least of all, the founding of “OLYMPOS TREK”.
The long and creative presence in the field makes ``OLYMPOS TREK`` the leading name in this kind of services, in all eastern Thessaly. The comments of our customers do prove it.
``OLYMPOS TREK`` activities are in absolute harmony with the human need for a balanced contact with the natural environment. Our activities are carefully created and planned, so that they are accessible to all of you according to your personal taste and experience and yet, with the element of action and adventure always present.
