Our Philosophy

Who We Are

The small Franco-Greek team of the Mediterranean Environmental Center has been working for over 30 years with local communities in rural Greece to protect and promote the environment and cultural heritage of this beautiful country. Gradually, it became clear to us that responsible tourism, which respects these communities and their way of life, can contribute to the preservation of their populations and certain professions.

ΕΦΗ

Efi

Originally from the island of Crete, I have lived abroad for many years, which has strengthened my love for my country, the cradle of Western civilisation. I divide my time between music and mountain guiding. Sharing precious and unforgettable experiences through the culture, traditions and nature of my native country is a passion that has driven me for many years. I love guiding to share the authentic side, the best-kept secrets and the magnificent landscapes of Greece.

Giorgos

After gaining extensive experience as a skipper and hiking guide, I decided to devote myself to organising trips that combine these two activities in Greece. On board my sailing boat ‘Santorini’, which is equipped to meet the specific requirements of this type of trip, I organise a two-week tour of the Cyclades (link) and another one-week tour of the Argosaronic Islands (link). The success of these tours is linked to the combination of sailing and hiking, which is the best way to explore the Greek islands without ever leaving behind the gentle way of life of the Aegean islands.

ΚOSTAS

Kostas

I live and work between Karystos, Athens, and Olympia. History, culture, and nature amaze me every day! Besides guiding, I have been occupied in topics relevant to music, visual arts, and editing. Nothing like sharing knowledge and experiences though! Hope to see you around!

KATERINA

Katerina

I inherited the travel bug from my nomadic Sarakatsani ancestors, enjoying a connective path as a licenced mountain leader / hiking guide as well as a PhD candidate in Walking Art/ Sociology of Art. Raised in the tri-border area of Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey, I value interculturalism and preserving cultural heritage, aspiring to blend these values with my commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism.

YANNIS

Yannis

My name is Yannis Amarantidis and I have created a cycle tourism initiative based in Greece, Greecycle, which operates in the Mount Olympus region. I design and lead authentic cycling experiences that combine nature, adventure and local culture. The tours are suitable for all levels and are tailor-made to meet the needs of each group, with an emphasis on safety, quality and enriching experiences. My goal is to offer a sustainable and alternative way to explore Mount Olympus, away from mass tourism, highlighting its natural beauty, history and mythology.
