Fanos studied medicine at University and then followed his brothers and sisters into the family business.
Fanos travelled extensively in his work, and always enjoyed meeting people and experiencing new places and was instrumental in helping to start and and run the Nicholas Brothers travel company.

Fanos and family moved to Spain seventeen years ago and lived in Coin, in the Malaga district, in Southern Spain.
Fanos was an avid Arsenal fan and very devoted in continuing the name of his village Komi Kebir, in the occupied part of Cyprus, to thrive and helping his fellow villagers and village association in the UK and Cyprus.
