Hi :) I'm Olga, and I'm a lover of history, culture, and languages. I'm from a small mountain village in the Peloponnese, but I was born in Canada and raised in Luxembourg. I studied History, Archaeology and Translation and after living in a few European cities (and now with two kids in tow) I made my home in Chania, Crete in 2016. Since 2014 I'm an official tour guide, accredited by the Greek Ministry of Tourism. Guiding combines my love of languages with my passion for culture and history. It also introduces me to new people with interesting stories, many of whom have become friends! I've guided tours all around Greece, but Crete is something else. The city of Chania in particular has a unique history, and the city's walls tell it all: from the oldest European civilization to the Venetian and Turkish occupations. And Chania's natural beauty is unrivalled — you can swim off sandy beaches and be hiking in the high mountains in just a half-hour car ride later. In my tours, I try to bring history to life. What were historical people's everyday concerns? What did they feel? How different or similar are they to us today? We can't (yet) travel to the past, but I hope I can give visitors the next best thing. I spend my spare time listening to history podcasts, learning new languages, reading, and sometimes singing and doing yoga. Hope to see you soon in Chania! - Licensed Tour Guide since 2014 by the Greek Ministry of Tourism - BA in History and Archaeology from the University of Athens, Greece - MA in History and Civilization of the Mediterranean from the University of Lyon, France - MA in Translation Studies from the University of Athens, Greece - MA in European Studies from the University of Leuven, Belgium All the tours listed are walking tours but if needed I can arrange for a vehicle and driver for you, just let me know!
