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.

Alyson

Amazing experience, wonderful guide and easy booking! Trip was all we hoped it would be and more.

Pitenis

Akis Parousis is one of the best mountain guides in Greece , but first of all he is one of the best partner!!!!

Stephen

Fantastic trip. Very well organised, and couldn’t have gone any better. Akis was exceptional, and made sure we all had a great time. Thank you.

Philippa

An amazing trip with a lovely small group and beautiful mountains! The views and terrain are spectacular, and you will feel safe and supported at all times (especially in the summit section where ropes and helmets are needed). Our guide Vasilis was knowledgeable and friendly, and I would highly recommend this trip to hikers or those who want to push themselves.

Ellis

This trip was absolutely brilliant! Akis is a true professional at his craft and his assistant bill was too who came on the second day for the climb. The people I met while on this was unbelievably nice. I’ve loved every bit of this.
