In 1903 Alektoridis created along with Vasileios Hatzis an art studio in which painters like George Bouzianis and Periklis Vyzantios attended classes. Alektoridis participated at the Athens International Exhibition (1907, 1908, and 1909), at the 1902 Art Exhibition of Constantinople,[5] at the 1907 International Maritime Exhibition in Bordeaux (where he won a gold medal) and at the exhibition of the Greek Art Society in Cairo (1909).[6]
