Rock Climbing Instructor
Kalymnos, Greece
Rock Climbing Instructor (French National Diploma)
Tania is a passionate adventurer, a dedicated climber and an ex-computer engineer. Inspired by the beauty of the natural environment and after many years of climbing outdoors and travelling to different climbing destinations she decided to become a climbing instructor. Her goal as a rock climbing guide is to inspire others to cultivate a more joyful and positive approach to the challenging sport of climbing and life.
In 2012 she was the first Cypriot woman to be accepted, trained and qualified by the French National climbing school as a rock climbing guide. This is a highly regarded and internationally recognized qualification. Since 2013, Tania has taught climbing and has run climbing & yoga retreats throughout the year in different locations in Europe. Most recently, in 2016, she also became a Stott Pilates Mat instructor. Tania speaks Greek and she is fluent in French and English.
With the intention of creating an environment in which to share, play, teach and evolve experience in climbing, Tania founded Climb Mediterranean in 2015 in Kalymnos, a world-class climbing destination.

Tania was an amazing guide. I had never outdoor rock climbed before and she was very patient and a great teacher. She picked me up right from outside my hotel every morning and dropped me off in the afternoon. Provided all rock climbing equipment besides shoes and overall did an absolutely fabulous job. I would highly recommend her to guide any of your rock climbing trips as she was well experienced and overall exceptional!

Climbing in Kalymnos with Tania was such a wonderful experience. She is a terrific teacher who gets to know all of her students on a personal indepth level and can adapt her sessions to suit all needs and abilitie so that everyone in the group is working at a good individual level, this is a really important skill when teaching rock climbing and one that I feel Tania has definitely mastered. My climbing technique improved dramatically after 5days with Tania and I climbed to my highest outdoor grade under her supervision, I can’t recommend her highly enough as a rock climbing instructor. Climbing aside, shes a really awesome chick and an incredibly warm person who is just fun to be around.

Tania was my climbing instructor during a yoga and climbing holidays in Kalymnos. She is the best climbing instructor you can imagine! she is passionate, kind, gentle and she has lots of patience. She has a second sense to know when she can push your boundaries and when isn’t a good time. She is also very conscious about safety while climbing and she pass that on to her students, so that you are also able to be safe and enjoy climbing when you go on your own.And all that while having lots of fun!

Je recommande vivement de grimper avec Tania Matsuka. Les stages d’escalade / yoga qu’elle propose à Kalymnos et à Chypre sont tout à fait adaptés à tous les niveaux. Elle est une excellente professeur d’escalade, attentive et soucieuse d’aider les participants à améliorer leur grimpe à leur rythme et dans la bonne humeur. La combinaison avec les séances de yoga proposées par Nazo est un véritable atout: assouplissement, détente… Que du bonheur en plus dans des endroits merveilleux qu’elle vous fait découvrir.
