Iordanis Kasapoglou

My first mountaineering experience was at the age of 11 climbing Mount Olympus, with the Xanthi mountaineering club. This exciting encounter with nature ignited my passion for conquering more peaks in Greece and abroad. Already at the age of 16 I had the pleasure of climbing Mont Blanc in the French Alps.

A big part of my activity is also cycling, from a very young age, I liked cycling with friends and later I developed my skills in this sport participating in competitions such as bmx, xc, enduro, downhill.

Today, I combine my passion for nature with organizing excursions. Hiking, mountaineering, cycling, sightseeing, adventure travel.

To this day, I enjoy the beauties of nature by organizing scenic, enchanting, exciting mountain and nature walks.

The mountains are my home and contact with nature is my passion. I will be very happy to share this experience with you. So come and enjoy the adventure in nature!

Theodoros Vrettos

It all began back in 2001 in Misurina, in the Italian Alps, after some friends suggested a Christmas “trip” to the mountains. In the vast whiteness of the Dolomites, the first step was taken, and everything naturally followed from there. In 2003, I had the honor of successfully climbing Mont Blanc — my first ascent and trekking experience. Since then, the pursuit of new mountaineering adventures has become a way of life.

My love for my homeland brought me back in 2013, and since then I have devoted most of my time to exploring and showcasing our own Rhodope Mountains — with their beautiful meadows and spectacular peaks — guiding groups and clubs through nature’s labyrinth.

The harmony of nature and the spirit of adventure are the freedom of the soul. Come and join me in enjoying the uniqueness of the mountains and the hidden gems of nature.
