Samaria Gorge. Full day hike in heart of nature

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.
