Some friendships are built over time. Others are shaped by a shared passion for nature, people and authentic experiences.
The long-standing friendship between World Cyclist, Gregory Verriotis, and horse trainer, Kostas Amperiadis, inspired a shared vision: to create meaningful experiences where visitors can discover Greece through cycling, horses, nature and genuine human connection.
Although their paths began in different worlds, they share the same philosophy - that the greatest lessons come from slowing down, respecting nature and learning through experience.
World Cyclist – Gregory Verriotis
For more than fifteen years, Gregory traveled the world by bicycle as an experiential journalist, documenting cultures, meeting extraordinary people, and sharing stories from places far off the beaten tourist trail.
His bike was much more than a means of transportation - it became his mobile editorial office. “For fifteen years, I traveled the world by bicycle as a journalist, carrying my editorial office with me. My bike was my means of transportation. My cameras were my notebook. My microphones recorded voices from every corner of the world. My office was never a building - it was the road.”
Today, these experiences continue to inspire visitors who choose to travel differently and discover Greece through authentic encounters.
