Dimitrios Spyridon Chytiris was born in Corfu, Greece in 1982. He studied at Vella in the city of Ioannina and returned to Corfu island after finishing his service in the Greek Army in 2008. He enjoys very much to listen to good music and travel as much as possible but above all he loves reading and collecting books. His personal library contains more than 900 books so far. Chytiris considers reading to be very intimate and sacred and often says: "Once I finish a book, especially a good one, it's very hard for me to start reading a new one right away. It almost feels like cheating! I need my time to be able to move on to the next one".
