Meet ACHILLEAS

FOR ACHILLEAS ALOPOUDIS, THE OUTDOORS IS LIFE; BOTH ON LAND AND ON SEA.

“I was born and raised in northern Greece and developed a love for mountain bike riding when I realised those narrow paths through the trees on the left and right of the fire roads led to new places and adventures.

“School was a time of waiting for the bell to ring when my mum or dad would drive me and some friends up the mountain for the one and only big descent near town. They were simple trails that we rode then, but our imagination turned them into the great Canadian trails we saw in movies and we couldn’t wait for the next ride!

“Many years have passed since then and bikes are still a passion of mine, along with sailing. I hear a constant calling for outdoor adventures, whether it’s a quick lap on the local trails, or a great alpine ride in the rugged and beautiful mountains of Greece.

“As a mountain bike guide in Greece a goal of mine is to keep some of the simplicity of youth – a simplicity easily lost while growing up but easy to recapture in the natural terrain of the Greek trails and in the way people live in the Greek mountains. I can’t wait to share my trails with you!”
