Syrago Koutsoni

Born in Greece and now splitting her time between Greece and Iceland, Syrago is a naturalist guide with a passion for wildlife, wild landscapes, and human connection. After 13 years as a nurse, she followed her curiosity to Iceland, where she became a certified glacier and ice cave guide. With a background in anthropology, Syrago brings a unique perspective to guiding, blending an appreciation for nature with a fascination for people and their stories. Her calm, caring, and unhurried approach helps travelers slow down and notice the little things that make each experience special. Among her favorite wildlife encounters are Arctic fox mothers caring for their kits and elephant matriarchs leading their herds, reminders of the remarkable strength of females in nature. When she’s not guiding, Syrago enjoys dancing, practicing handstands, and soaking in Iceland’s geothermal pools. Her happy place is a glacier in southern Iceland on a clear winter morning, surrounded by glowing blue ice and solitude.
