I'm Mel L., your private tour guide in Chania
Guide #14484
I love being in nature and I have always been fascinated by animals, plants and beautiful landscapes. I also feel the need to share the things I love, especially with those who can appreciate them. And Crete has so many natural beauties to discover! My passion for Crete's beautiful nature led me to work as an eco guide in the magical natural areas of Crete and the Aegean for the past ten years. I have always preferred small and flexible private tours in order to share the real taste of the local nature and culture, taking visitors to the same places where I would take my friends. It is very important to combine sharing knowledge and information while having the nice relaxing time to absorb everything that Cretan nature has to offer. This is your holiday after all, and we all know how important this is! MSc in Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare First Aid courses The tours I offer only include visits to places of natural interest, not historical monuments. Weather restrictions: In case of rain (mainly winter and spring) we will find the closest available date for our tour.

This was our first day in Greece and we were exhausted from long travel the day before. We had scheduled a full day tour with Mel. Mel was very flexible and delayed the start time to the best of her ability for our tour to make sure we get enough rest. She was an absolutely amazing tour guide. We started with Souda Bay view point, then she took us around the villages...

Mel was a wonderful guide for our tour in the Imbros Gorge. Her knowledge of the flora and fauna of the gorge and her pacing of the hike to maximize our safety and appreciation of the trail was special. A great experience for us with exceptional guide!

Mel, was an excellent tour guide! She was accommodating to our family needs and concerns and made the hike enjoyable for all! She brought hiking poles for us so we didn’t need to pack them; she helped us with our food order and was flexible with our schedule. We would highly recommend touring with Mel!
