Mountain Guide
Litochoro, Greece

I have been climbing with passion since the age of 14 when I started rock climbing, and (in my 20's) I became a full-time mountain guide. Even though climbing first began only as a hobby, it later led me to a professional Mountain Guide title.
I am a Greek certified Mountain Guide HFMC, and an IFMGA/UIAGM/IVBV Mountain Guide, which is the highest internationally recognized mountain guiding certification. I am also a board member of the Hellenic Mountain Guide Association and a member of the Austria Guides Association (section Vorarlberg).
I work together with a group of certified guides, so If I am not available to guide you, one of the experienced guides in my team will be your guide.
In the last 20 years, I have accomplished many expeditions all over the world from Denali in Alaska to Damavand Iran, climbing or guiding and skitouring.
I love the mountains as well as the sea. I'm a passionate sailor and a skipper, also organizing climbing and sailing trips in the Aegean Sea.
Now I am currently studying Marketing and Management at EAP University. I live between my birthplace Litochoro, the village at the foot of Mt. Olympus Greece, and Chamonix France. You can find me guiding between Mt. Olympus and Chamonix Mont-Blanc, ski touring the Haute Route in the Alps, to summiting Mt Elbrus in Caucasus or sailing and climbing on the Greek islands.
I love to work with groups in new destinations and make great pictures along the way.

Thank you to both Babis and the other Babis for taking us on a magical experience and keeping such good care of us. Both Babis's had a wealth of experience and knowledge on hiking and climbing which they were all too willing to share with us making for fascinating stories and conversations. Love Mt Olympus!

Climbing Mount Olympus with Babis was fantastic. He is an absolute professional and we always felt safe with him, even during the ascent of Mitikas.
