Epameinondas Kaiafas, author and owner of TERRA NAVIGA is a self-educated master designer - illustrator,
sculptor and painter. Born in 1973 in a middle
sized city called Volos in central Greece, located in the mythical shadow of Mount
Pelion. With a sincere interest in all aspects of visual arts from early childhood
he grew up to become a self-taught visual artist, all though he never had the
chance to follow the usual academic curriculum in fine arts. He is working
in graphic design over the past 17 years, eight of them as an employee in a graphic
design studio and the last nine as an entrepreneur, master of his own studio. He
is specialized in the creation of handmade illustrated maps using the same
creative technics of the old masters.
TERRA NAVIGA is a creative studio specialized on the production of handmade illustrated maps. During the last 3 years we produced two (2) illustrated maps for the historic centers of the cities of Amsterdam and Haarlem and we are working at the moment on the historic center of Nicosia in Cyprus.

Apart from
the present maps, which we are the legal owners of its Copyright, and which we
offer for sale, we have completed over the last 9 years more than 30 other illustrated
maps of distinguished Greek destinations on behalf of Public Authorities and Counties of Greece as
well as for Commercial publishers of Greek interests ( Topiography – St.
Logotheti editions). Some of them can be viewed in our website under the title “Other
works” as well as in the present blog right below and they are included in our website for

We believe
our maps not only they will be a great addition to any Tourist Guide circulating
at the moment for the city of Amsterdam and Haarlem but they can stand as
individual products since they hold a highly efficient accuracy as maps and an
outstanding aesthetic value as handmade illustrations in a very traditional
way.
