Christoforos Korovesis
Manager & chief guide
Born and raised in Athens to a Parian mother, Christoforos studied English literature at postgraduate level and worked for private firms in Athens, first in education and then in communication and marketing. Having spent most of his summers under the blue skies of Paros, he moved to the island in 2012 and decided to start Paros Hikes, aiming to do what he likes most: walking, cycling, but also showing others the beautiful, unspoilt and largely undiscovered side of Paros that lies beyond the well-trodden tourist routes. With years of mountaineering experience as a member of EPOS Filis Mountaineering Club, Christoforos is now an Eco-Tours Escort (South Aegean Prefectural Administration) with a certificate in Wine Tourism (Athens Univ. Dept. of Continuing Education), and a certified First Aid Provider. Apart from English, French and Greek, Christoforos speaks basic Italian and German. His other interests include photography, cinema, reading and writing poetry.
Nasos Grivas
Tour guide
Happily married to a Parian woman from Lefkes, Nasos came to Paros for the windsurfing… and stayed for life! An electrical and computer engineer with a professional background in education and web development, he has been involved with the Paros Hikes project since its inception and has been guiding hiking and cycling tours on Paros and Antiparos for the last couple of years. Beyond his love for the great Paros outdoors (the mountains and the sea), he is a master – but ‘forever-an-amateur’, in his own words – chess player.
Lambros Hatsilarkos
Tour guide
After an early retirement from a career in education (another English teacher!), Lambros has closely worked with Paros Hikes not just guiding walks, but also sharing his love and knowledge of the island’s footpaths, history and traditions. An avid hiker, he has climbed almost all Greek mountains (and quite a few abroad!) – and as a life-long Paros fan & resident since 1998, he has literally walked every inch of the place. Wherever you want to go on foot (or even barefoot!) and whatever you want to see on Paros & Antiparos, you can rely on Lambros to take you there!
