Overview of your Chani tour:

I was born and raised in the old city of Chania, in Crete. I am a professional mountaineer, mountain guide and instructor and have many years of experience working as a mountain guide in Greece, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Nepal, Tibet, Pakistan and on the western side of the USA. While I live in Crete - Chania It will be my pleasure to show you the mountains of my home area! During this trip we will visit and cross the Samaria gorge! We can see part of Lefka Ori Mountains with summits over to 2. 200m and I can tell you how they were 25 year before! I had cross this place more than a thousand times in summer and winter, but I'm still interested like the first time! Join me and I will definitely show you the mountainous area where I started my career at the age of 12!
