Ioannis Nakitsas was born in the end of the 19th century in Grammousta. He acted as a chieftain of a guerilla band in the areas of Korestia and Kastoria, against Bulgarian komitadjis. He collaborated in various operations with Georgios Tsontos.[2][3]
He settled in Kastoria, where served as head of the executive of the National Organization of Kastoria. On 23 October 1906 he visited his wife in Sdraltsi, Kastoria.
