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!

Overview of your Chania tour

Let me introduce you to the most original face of western Crete, that isn't deeply affected by the mass tourism and has kept its originality through the years. Destinations that mostly locals prefer and will offer you the experience of cretan hospitality.

Your Chania tour itinerary

Starting from our pre-arranged meeting point, we will drive through the area of Maleme, among PDO orange groves and olive groves and we will visit the early-christian rotonda church of Archangel Michael, one of the two rotonda churches in Greece. The 1400 years old monument has recently been restorated and opened to public. Close to the area, there is the Ancient Olive Tree of Vouves which is more than 3000 years old. The local family business of oil and honey productions "Idiosmos" is waiting for us to demonstrate how the products are traditionally made. Tasting experience. We will admire the strange cretan landscape of Komolithee and then drive through the Topolia gorge, in order to visit the cave of Agia Sofia ( Holy Wisdom Cave). The traditional restaurant with locally produced meat and vegetables at the area is where we will have lunch, if desired.
