BIO
My name is George Anastasiadis. I’m 14 years old, I was born in Drama, Greece and I do bmx. I’m a student of the Music School in Drama and I enjoy drawing, bmxing and playing the guitar. Bmx is my favorite hobby and I train regularly so as to be good at it.
The reason that I continue bmx until today is because I see guys doing impressive tricks and I would like to be as good as them. When I get up I have a good breakfast, chat with my friends and go out to ride.
I train every day unless I have school. During term time I finish my homework and then I go out for bmx with my friends. In our area there are not many suitable spots and that’s why the local bmxers, skaters and rollerbladers go to the local skate park to train. I have traveled to other cities to ride.
I have met new riders and I have done bmx at good spots. My favorite spots in our area in Greece are the NorthPark Indoor SkatePark and Xanthi SkatePark. The riders I’ve met there have shown me new tricks and I thank them very much. I would like to take part in the NorthJam which is organized in a few months time hoping to get a good place.

The wonderful evergreen region of Messinia is located in Southwestern Peloponnese. With its peaceful and unspoiled lands, seductive beaches, lush gorges, stately castles and impressive ancient sites, this place is a must explore spot.
Our journey consists of some of the best activities and historical sites in the Messinia region. South of the Messinia region, starting from the Neda river and the stunning Temple of Apollo Epicurius or the Parthenon of Peloponnese.
Day 1. Pick up from Athens or Kalamata airport to Kalamata
Kalamata is the capital city of the Messinia region with numerous historical and cultural sites as well as a beautiful seafront and a vibrant nightlife. We get settled in at the hotel and have the rest of the day off to get to know each other, go sightseeing, eat great food, enjoy a refreshing cocktail and prepare for the next day.
Day 2. –River Trekking in Neda (summer season only from June to September): 4 hours (from Kalamata to temple of Apollo and Neda)
Neda river lies on the borders of Ilia and Messinia region and is the only river in Greece with a feminine name. Driving from Kalamata, before we reach Neda river we make a stop at the stunning Temple of Apollo Epicurius or the Parthenon of Peloponnese.
Arriving at the spot where our river trek starts, the breathtaking scenery will definitely amaze you. As we trek through the river gorge, we pass through narrow cliff openings no more than 1.5m wide at some points where we have to swim crossing stone bridges and underwater caves until we reach the spectacular Neda waterfalls. After the activity, we set off to Kardamili where we spend the night.
Day 3 – Sea Kayaking – Hiking Kardamili in Mani Messinia: 5-6 hours with breaks
Sea Kayaking
Once we arrive at our activity base, we get our kayaks and begin to enjoy an excursion at the foot of mount Taygetos where each little cove hides a special surprise. Hidden caves, cliffs with spectacular formations and unique beaches such as the well hidden beach of Foneas with the white pebbles or the beach of Kalogria with fine golden sand and turquoise waters. The beach of Kalogria is also known as the beach of Zorbas, as this was the place where writer Nikos Kazantzakis met his hero of his book, Zorba the Greek. Halfway we make a stop for swimming, snorkeling and a picnic with local traditional delicacies.
Hiking
Our tour starts from the fortified tower houses of old Kardamili as we follow the path that once was part of the ancient so called ‘’royal road’’, connecting Kardamili with Sparta. Along the way, we walk through the narrow streets of the traditional villages as we learn about their history. A small break for a healthy picnic with traditional local delicacies gives us an additional supply of energy. A burst of colors and fragrances of flowers and herbs overwhelm us and bring us even closer to the natural environment. We walk through an easy route, sometimes a stone built path and sometimes a shady pathway, immersed in olive trees, pines and cypress trees.
Day 4. Scuba Diving Kardamili in Mani Messinia. DSD Course for beginners or an Exciting Dive for Certified divers: 3 hours
What a great way to Discover Scuba Diving (also called DSD ). This is an application of recreational diving in which an un-certified diver uses a scuba set to breathe underwater under the direct supervision of a qualified instructor. Arriving at Kalogria beach we set foot on the diving center where we prepare ourselves for a dive. The dive site has an amazing sandy bottom with crystal clear visibility and offers many surprises to explore such as grass lands, caverns and rocky reefs. The area is also characterized by fresh water springs which emerge from underground caverns into the sea-floor.
If you are a certified diver we can schedule a exciting dive from the shore or boat.
