Born and raised in Chania, spent 10 years in the UK, studied modern history, did two MAs and worked for Marriott hotels as a manager for 4 years. I work in tourism for more than 25 years and since 2006 I manage a small family hotel and offer private tours to various locations. I constantly try to discover the nature, history and traditions of Crete, and show its beauties to visitors. As a member of many local organizations and passionate about the island, I regularly hike, research the local history and discover the endless hidden gems of the island. Every tour is a discovery and experience, a journey through time, and the Greek civilization. My aim is to share my passion of the island to its visitors and enjoy a discovery experience. As a traveler myself I have an insight of what a guest needs and try to adapt tours and focus to cater the needs of its participants. Whatever your interest might be, from visiting a beach, hiking a gorge or exploring Chania town, I could be the perfect partner for your trip. I have learned that not only knowledge of a guide is important but also his joyful personality is what make a tour special and leave the best memories for its participants. I can organize private tours to cater your needs, just send me a message with your broad interests or locations you would like to visit.

Overview of your Chania tour

This unique tour combines exploring the Cretan nature, the most spectacular gorge close to Chania, the villages surrounding it, followed by lunch in perhaps one of the best bio restaurants in Crete and one of my favourites. We will drive through spectacular natural scenery, inside a gorge leading to the foot of the White Mountains, where the restaurant is located. It's not only a nature experience through a gorge but also a cultural one as we will visit two small Byzantine churches and the lunch at the end is an experience by itself. On the way back we drive by the side of mountain over Chania with panoramic view of Chania and Souda port. All food in the small family restaurant is handmade and cooked in wood oven, from bread to the local Cretan and Greek recipes. You will taste a range of Cretan dishes in small plates, and do a short wine tasting. We will not leave the restaurant until you are full! If you wish, we could walk around the farm and area, depending on the season and weather.
