Peripetia365 – Adventure Starts Here

Welcome!

I’m an outdoor enthusiast and adventure guide who has always loved exploring nature. My journey started with motorcycle trips across Europe, the Balkans, and Asia, where I also had the chance to organize “Safe Driving Seminars for Motorcycles.” As time passed, my love for adventure expanded to mountaineering and rock climbing. I’ve climbed mountains in Greece and abroad, repeated challenging rock climbing routes, and even helped develop climbing crags in Fthiotida, Greece (2010-2014). In 2014 I helped Zbynek Cepela to establish Crete’s first Via Ferrata in the Asterousia mountains! Since then, I’ve been an active part of the Heraklion climbing community, helping to keep climbing routes in top shape.

From 2016 to 2018, I managed the webshop for the outdoor gear store “Mountain Club” (www.mountainclub.gr). These days, I get to do what I love most—guiding people through incredible outdoor experiences, making sure they’re safe, having fun, and connecting with nature in the best way possible!

In addition to guiding, I’ve also been involved in environmental conservation efforts. In 2022-2023, I collaborated with the University of Crete on the LIFE Bonelli East Med program, contributing to wildlife conservation initiatives. More recently, in 2024, I participated in the LIFE Mare Natura program, working on marine and coastal ecosystem preservation. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for protecting the natural world while sharing its beauty with others!
