I'm Zoi , I live in Chania and I' m a teacher. I' ve attended Civil Engineering courses, I studied to become Primary School teacher and recently took my Tour Guide Licence. I speak English and French fluently. I' ve worked in tourism for 5 years. I've recently -due to pandemic period- discovered the hidden beauties of the island I've always lived in. As a mother of two children, a toddler and a pre-adolescent, I experienced the need to find our ways out of it, so we started organising day trips to close destinations, far from the city but also far from the coastline. Though I 'm a local, I had never imagined the variety of hidden landscapes of Crete -I mean except for the well-known and mostly advertised ones! My day trips include 2 to 5 seperate destinations/points of interest, with small driving distances between them, so they might be suitable for people used to a normal physical activity, no matter what their ages are. The trips usually include walking, hiking, sightseeing and swimming. Any trip can be customizable according to your interests and availability. My personal goal through a day trip is to be able to see and experience to the maximum what a full day can provide: nice views, an unforgettable landscape, history and culture of the place and in the end, relaxing around a table with local tastes! Crete can satisfy all your scences, so be my guest and let's discover beautiful hidden places together!

    Zoi was very Knowledgeable in the history of Crete and very open to our questions. The walking was a good pace with many stops if we needed rest. She was casual in her conversation and did not try to rush through a script. She appears to customize her tours… she made me want to go back to Crete… very good!!!!

    This was a great walking tour of Chania with Zoi! She was friendly and responsive to any questions. She is very knowledgable about Chania and it's history and spoke very well. She even took us to an olive oil and honey tasting which was fun! We enjoyed it very much and will recommend it to our friends!
