About the guide
I am an IFMGA mountain guide living in Cyprus. I have a passion for exploring the mountains since I was child. Kyperounda, the town where I was born and raised, was my first playground, the place where I started practising different outdoor activities.
First I learnt skiing. Then, I started training and taking part in races and competitions, traveling extensively in Europe. As I am very curious, I kept trying all kinds of sports until I discovered climbing and all its exciting possibilities.
I also developed both my academic and my practical skills in the university, where I studied Outdoor Studies and Sport Science. During that time, I obtained qualifications as a Mountain Leader and a Climber.
Teaching other people is one of the things I like the most. I find a deep joy in helping others to enjoy the mountains as much as I do.
The experience of all these years as well as my technical skills, have taken me closer to my goal: becoming an IFMGA mountain guide.

Taking a rock climbing course with Kyriakos was the right choice for me. He is professional, experienced, rigorous, very serious about his teaching and pushes you beyond your limits in the best way possible. He would always answer all questions we had and took the time to help with our weaknesses and fears. By the end of the course I felt I had build a strong background on safety and very confident to lead on my own. He is an aspiring mountain guide and nature lover. I would strongly recommend him as a teacher and as a guide!
