INTERESTS

Travel and discovery of cultures and technology are important to me.

I visited Europe. As a result, I feel confident to communicate with people from different religions and cultures and simultaneously understand their views and attitudes. Especially I was happy to experience their civilization, way of life and level of technology.

Hiking, swimming, cycling and mountaineering are my favourite activities.

This is the reason that, especially during my summer vacations in Platamon, I have visited the Spilios Agapitos refugee of Olympus and not only.
