I'm Zoi P., your private tour guide in Chania

Guide #55705

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! Driving lisence Certificate of Proficiency in English Diplome de langue francaise, Sorbonne II Primary school teacher First-aid Red Cross seminars I could, upon request, hire a car or a minivan and driver, at an additional cost.

    Thank you all for your kindness, Tristan. I really hope you enjoyed as much as possible despite the "unexpected" issues. However, I will eternally owe you that moussaka!!! If you ever come back independently, I promise you a traditional homemade Moussaka at home. Take care and keep travelling!

    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!!!!
