During his youth he was attracted by ascetic and monastic ideals and joined the monastic community of Mount Athos. He graduated from the local Athonite School (1901) and the Phanar Greek Orthodox College in Istambul.〔 He continued his studies in the Philosophy department of the University of Athens, where he acquired his Ph.D. in Humanities.〔(''Europa World of learning online'' ).

Among them where Panteleimon Kotokos as metropolitan of Gjirokastër and Eulogios Kourilas as metropolitan of Korçë. When the communist regime of Enver Hoxha came to power in Albania in 1945, he was declared an "enemy of the state" and was deprived from the Albanian citizenship. By then he was already living in Greece where, parallel to his academic work, together with Panteleimon Kotokos became the heads of the ''Northern Epirus Central Committee'' propagating that parts of southern Albania, known among Greeks as Northern Epirus should be awarded to Greece.
