Dear Guests, Ι was born in Heraklion, Crete . After my studies in the Tourism business, I decided to be a Guide because I love history and Culture very much. I have travelled in many places of the world in order to see other civilizations, and to be in contact with the history of other countries. My tours are tailor made for historical, educational and cultural experiences. In almost all tours, except the typical visit, there is always a walking tour (city walk, or other) which is the best way to explore places. - I am a professional licensed Tourist Guide for all Greece since 1994, and I work on the island of Crete.

This tour starts from Heraklion and combines a relaxed scenic drive along the northern coast, with visits at a historical monastery as well as the two most picturesque towns on the island. All Greeks regard Arkadi monastery as a bulwark and symbol of freedom. The site of the 1866 battle between Cretans and Ottoman Turks, the monastery was destroyed and only a few of its occupants escaped the massacre. But the brave and stubborn resistance exhibited by the martyrs of Arkadi, including the abbot of the monastery, proved the stimulus for widespread resistance throughout the island that attracted the attention of several foreign countries and finally resulted in the liberation of Crete. Many consider Chania as the most beautiful city on Crete. We will stroll along the harbor area of the old port, admire its Venetian and Ottoman architecture, with its Naval Museum housed in the Venetian ship-sheds, wander through the narrow back streets, visit the famous Agora and leather market, and enjoy lunch
