Walking is the most natural movement for people. Humans on foot left their traces, and the traces created the path... Santorini – the landscape of a volcanic future
British and American scientists have published new research showing that group nature walks help us combat stress while boosting mental well-being.
new documentary of arte.tv network about Southwest Crete. Through the steps of our book "South West Crete"!
In 2010 the Vikos-Aoos region, part of Northern Pindos National Park, became a Geopark. Due to its unique geological heritage there are numerous geosites with a wide range of geological aspects.
We were very happy reading the review of our book, "Crete South West", in the magazine "Κρήτη" ("Crete") of the Pancretan Association of America.
We had the chance to enjoy the underwater world and observe closely many different species.
Our paths first crossed through our publications around trails we already knew working as hiking guides. Through these, we tried to record and communicate the simplicity and beauty of traversing cultural landscapes, encountering the history, the people and nature, while playing, discussing and of course walking. In our journey, we met new companions, our team grew and we evolved. For the last years, Onfoot guides are sharing knowledge and passion with travelers going the extra mile.
This way we transform our walks into journeys discovering new colors, tastes, sounds, and fellow travelers.
My passion for nature begun when I was at the Technical University of Crete studying Environmental and Mineral Resources Engineering. I became a climber and speleologist and on a trip in Zagori region I fell in love with the breathtaking landscape, natural environment and cultural history. After graduating I decided I couldn’t spend my life living in the city so I returned in Zagori in 2009 determined to devote my life in this fascinating area.
I have lived here for six years and observed all the changes in the natural environment during the 4 seasons. Now I have a deeper understanding of the diverse elements that comprise that magnificent and unique area. Last year I completed my master degree in mapping geotrails in Zagori, which is part of Vikos-Aoos Geopark founded in 2010. To me, the geopark provides the context for the best learning experience. It blends some of the most scenic views in the world with unique geology, ecosystems and surrounding cultures that has managed to remain untouched by the industrialized world. In this sense, visiting this region is like traveling back in time!
George’s journey began on 1983 at Buenos Aires in Argentina. After years of wandering around the world while studying audiovisual arts and new technologies and dealing with the documentary, photography and music, his route led him to the great continent of Crete, where he lives and works in recent years. His passion for hiking and exploring the inexhaustible beauty of nature led him to work as a tour guide in the last 10 years in Crete and the Greek islands and mountains.
We are the experiences that respond to a trip. And the best way to acquire them is onfoot!
Penelope used to wander around the globe since a little kid. Curiosity about life led her to discover gorges, caves, mountains and the sea. Having in her suitcase her studies on communication, linguistics, music and foreign languages, her training as a guide in dry stone paths and as an interpretive guide, she works professionally since 2007 guiding groups of hikers all over Greece.
During these years her biggest concern at work was to share with the visitors the environmental and cultural richness of each place in order to preserve it for the next generations.
We appreciate better this richness Onfoot!
Christos had an early contact with the mountain, by attending for many years the children's camp of the Greek Mountaineering Association of Athens. Since then, at every opportunity he travels. He has visited over 20 countries and several mountains abroad as well as countless mountain destinations within Greece.
On behalf of the largest local and international tour operators he has been guiding tours in Greece for 10+ years at the national park of mount Parnitha, in the islands of Cyclades, Crete and the Greek mainland (Mani, Meteora, Mystras, Epidaurus, Mycenae, Delphi). He has excellent communication skills and is very enthusiastic to show people the rare beauties of his homeland. He holds an MSc in 'Human-Computer Interaction with Ergonomics' from University College London (UCL) and he has been very actively involved on the two hiking books, about Crete and Mount Parnitha, which onFoot has published. You are in great hands with Christos who always receives rave reviews from clients who have toured with him.
His next steps follow the previous ones.
