For skiing, no question about it! There are a few ski resorts in Greece but none worth a visit as much as Epirus, where the mountains where you can ski are so many. After all, the Pindos mountains have amazing snowfall every winter and the possibility of ski touring is amazing. Over the last few years more and more people are trying this exotic ski destination. How about you?
So who we are?
Mountain Goat was founded by Makis Logiotatidis, a certified mountain leader, ski patroller and ski instructor, with many years of experience in the mountains. Makis grew as a child skiing and hiking on Mt. Olympus and Mt. Vermio close to his hometown of Thessaloniki.
Growing up he found out that the lifestyle of the nature and the mountains was more suitable for him so he left the crowded city, to a more free lifestyle.
He worked in many areas of Greece as a guide and a ski instructor before moving into Austria where he stayed for three years and got certified in these two fields.
In 2004 he decided to move to Pindos mountains where his two basic loves mountaineering and skiing could also support him financially.
“My goal is to show people that Greece is not only sun and beaches but high snowy mountains as well. No one believed me when I said that you could ski in Greece!”
And that is how Mountain Goat started and operates since 2006!
Dafne is the loving wife and the big support “behind the scenes” as she takes care of the organisation of the tours. Dafne is a local and a nature lover as she likes to hike and beeing close to nature. Dafne has a degree on graphic design and always was a restless soul, travelling and working around Greece, until she decided to move to her native land Zagori!

The home base for all is located in a small Zagori village Elati, and from there start all the excursions, where the couple also grows their small vegetable garden!
