Certificates

HMGA 

I come from Greece and always remember myself as a kid in the mountains…
Now, I am a Certified Mountain Guide HMGA, member of the Hellenic Mountain Guides Association (License number A.N 867/37, Nr 19 FEK (A)621-999/28-11-07) also a Mountaineering – Ski Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor, member of the Hellenic Federation of Mountaineering & Climbing (H.F.M.C).

My passion for the mountains led me on numerous hikes, ski tours, and rock and ice climbs in Greece, the Alps, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Bulgaria, with many new routes under my signature.

The beautiful valleys at the foot of Mount Olympus – Greece are my home, and the flanks above are the playground to follow my mountain love, may it be ice-climbing, ski touring, hiking, or alpine climbing. For me, it is the perfect terrain to train, play and guide.

I teach mountaineering, rock climbing, and ski mountaineering in various Climbing Schools & Mountaineering Associations, and I spend a lot of wintertime as a ski instructor. I love to share my passion with guests and guide hikers, mountaineers, climbers, and ski tourers all year round.

I am married to Mariza and we have a daughter and two sons together.
I speak Greek, English, and French.

Incredible. He was professional, polite and highly knowledgeable. Best adventure experience of my life5
Akis is a very professional guide, very friendly and nice to be with him; very knowledgeable and helpful. 5
J'ai beaucoup aimé la randonnée sur le Mont Olympe, le temps était favorable j'ai eu beaucoup  de chance.
 J'ai pu vivre cette belle envolée en fusion avec la nature, des arbres majestueux, des chamois observateurs, des fleurs sauvages...
Pas après pas, jusqu'au sommet du mytikas.

Un grand merci à Akis pour son professionnalisme, son aide et sa bienveillance.

Akis was the best!! Very gracious host. Exceptional guiding and tour guide! Gave me the best 2 days of mountaineering on Mt Olympus I have ever done. Also did one half day of touring and hiking that was beautiful and informative. Highly recommend his services!!

The guide, Akis, and the hike were great. The mountains are stunning. Akis had to make a trip adjustment because there was an unexpected amount of snow. We had a safe and amazing hike.
