Hello! My name is Peter, and I was born and raised in the beautiful town of Chania! I have travelled around the world and stayed in the United States where I spent my college years. I have been in the local tourist industry for more than 10 years, having been engaged throughout that time in the hotel business and giving tours to travelers. I am excited to show you the beautiful prefecture of Chania, with its vast natural beauty comprising its gorgeous beaches, astonishing nature and its picturesque villages. Crete is located on the crossroads of civilizations with a strategic position on the Mediterranean Sea, as it is on the pathway from Europe to the Middle East and the Minor Asia. With me you will meet Chania's rich history from the Ancient Ages, to the Medieval Ages at the times of the Byzantine Empire, as well the Venetian occupation succeeded by the Ottoman rule through its Modern history and liberation. We will blend it with its local culture and traditions and how it formed the fascinating Cretan culture. My goal is with my pleasant and cheerful personality show travelers a great time and pass through interesting information, so in the near future they will be eager to visit again or at least be nostalgic of the great experience they had on their tour. From my part I will be more than willing to give recommendations for any tour, even for some travelers who have special requests, to be flexible and adaptive according to their needs. I am always here to help and make sure from every single tour, travelers will have something to remember. I am more than excited to be your future guide and be able to fill you in with as much information as possible!! • Degree in Business Management from USC Upstate, SC, USA • Licensed to offer private chauffeur tours of Chania and Crete • Manage small family hotel for more than ten years • Manage and work at a private tour company • Accountant licence and practice • Coached at Summer Basketball Camps in the U.S.A. - friendly with kids • Ex-professional athlete • Travel frequently • My car is a CItroen Berlingo, can take up to 6 travelers comfortably. • I am not licensed to guide inside museums or archeological sites.

I am happy you enjoyed the tour and the beach. Crete is a big island and there are many things to see, from nature (beaches and mountains) to history, culture and traditions. The best restaurants are away from the tourists spots, away from the beaches and in the mountains. Hope to see you again!

We had an excellent day doing the “Chania town and lunch on a mountain restaurant” tour with Peter! It really was the perfect combination of historical sites, free time for shopping (and Peter’s recommendations were spot-on), and countryside landscapes and views. We stopped at a charming mountain village for honey tasting and to have a delicious true Greek lunch at an...

Its always a pleasure when travellers have unique memorable experiences. Chania old town is very picturesque, but I believe the mountain restaurant is more unique, everything comes from its farm and cooked slowly in the wood oven (so food and meat are more tender). I am getting hungry. Hope to see you again in Crete and explore more of our beauties, such as stunning...
