### Welcome to My World of Adventure
Born and raised in the heart of the old city of Chania, Crete, my life
has always been intertwined with nature and the mountains. This passion
has evolved into a professional journey as a mountaineer, instructor,
and guide, dedicated to sharing the beauty of the outdoors with others.
### Trusted Expertise and Unique Experiences
As a seasoned guide and instructor, I have had the honor of leading
individuals and groups of all ages and skill levels, from beginners to
experienced adventurers. My services have also been trusted by renowned
figures, including politicians, journalists, and artists. Among them is
the Prime Minister of Greece, Mr. Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who has
personally relied on me for safe and memorable mountain experiences.
### Educator and Mentor
For the past two years, I have been an instructor at the Public
Vocational Training Institute (DIEK) of Chania, teaching in the "Hiking
Leader" department. This role allows me to train and inspire the next
generation of mountain leaders.
### A Global Adventure
With decades of experience, I have guided expeditions across Greece and
internationally, including France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Nepal,
Tibet, Pakistan, and the western United States. Some of the notable
peaks I have climbed include:
-**Himalayas**: Baruntse (7,161m), Mera Peak (6,470m), Island Peak (6,186m), Tharpu Chulli (5,800m), and Naya Kanga (5,844m).
- **Europe**: Mont Blanc, Grossglockner, Zugspitze, and numerous peaks across the Alps, Pyrenees, and Apennines.
- **Greece**: Iconic ascents on Mount Olympus and Crete's dramatic landscapes.
### A Life of Outdoor Passion
My love for nature is reflected in my active participation in a wide
range of outdoor sports, including:
- Mountaineering
- Ski touring
- Rock and ice climbing
- Hiking and trekking
- Trail and mountain running
- Road and mountain biking
- Swimming
These activities are more than just pursuits—they are a philosophy of
life. I believe that being in nature fosters companionship, solidarity,
and personal growth, helping us set and achieve meaningful goals.
### Adventures for Everyone
I design tailored programs, from daily trips to week-long adventures,
suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Whether you are an individual,
a family, or part of a small group, I ensure safety, enjoyment, and
unforgettable memories.
