Hello! I am from Chania and have a passion about history, culture and all things alike, from architecture to dances, language and food. As an extension of this passion, I love traveling, and think that getting to know a place's history and its people is what makes each trip a unique experience! One of the things I like most about being a guide is having the chance to meet and interact with other travelers from all over the world at my home town, and help them discover the city and its surroundings in ways that even locals don't know! Chania is a great place to get started, as here you can find monuments from all kinds of eras and rulers that passed through Crete, from Minoan and Mycenean to Ancient Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Venetian and Ottoman. Another advantage Chania has in relation to the rest of Crete is its natural beauties (among which 42 gorges and 20 peaks above 2, 000 m), which never cease to amaze and offer something new at every corner! My experience as a guide is mostly related to city tours, but I can also organize half or full day tours in the beautiful countryside of Chania. In any case, I can customize my tours according to your requests and interests. Join me and enjoy a unique insight to Cretan culture and history! - PhD in History (specializing in Cretan history) - MA in International Relations - First Degree on Turkish Studies - Driving license -Due to government regulations, I will not able to guide you inside official archeological sites.

Overview of your Chania tour

Our tour will start from Chania or Souda port and lead us to some of the most beautiful places in western Crete. Our first stop will be Gonia Monastery, situated at the east end of the Gulf of Chania. We will visit the main church, dedicated to the Assumption of Virgin Mary, and the monastery's small museum, which hosts some excuisite examples of Byzantine art and numerous icons. Then we will continue on to Vouves, a small village that is home to one of the oldest olive trees in the world, some 3500 years old! We can have a local soft drink or a coffee at the nearby cafe, and then head to Falassarna, a great beach on the west coast of Crete, known for its crystal waters and white sand, voted as one of the top 5 in the Mediterranean! We will have some free time at the beach (2-3 hours) and then we'll head to a traditional taverna, where you can try some excellent Cretan food! Join me on this great tour of the highlights of western Crete!
