Thanasis Pantes made his first contact with the wonderful and boundless beauty mountain chain of Pindos when he was studying Mathematics at the University of Ioannina.
During the following years he expanded the hundreds of kilometers of trekking to the rest of non-tourist Greece, to the exquisite Mount Pelion, the imposing Meteora and Mount Olympus.

The Vikos Canyon, the river Voidomatis, Gamila, the Refuge of Astraka, Smolikas, the villages of Zagoria in combination with hospitality, a smile, good taste, pride and vivacity of the people who live in the area, were the main reasons for turning his hobby on trekking into his main profession.
These kilometers brought him knowledge and experience and after one decade of walking around the Greek nature, Thanasis built up Walking Holidays which is part of Alternative Forms of Tourism and based in Central Greece.
