Kalimera or Hello Everyone! Welcome to Crete - the beautiful, picturesque and magical land of Greek mythology gods, Minoan culture, perfect olive oil, colorful cuisine and delicious wine! My name is Anna. I have been living in Crete for almost 10 years. I get the lovely Cretan family here, but the most important is that I am in love with Crete, its beauty, culture, nature and all the rest :) My passion is to organize unique walks and trips around the island, wonderful food & wine tastings for you. Also, I can give you the opportunity to visit traditional Cretan villages, to feel like a Cretan, while opening the heart and soul of this magical place! The hospitality is the main feature of my excursions and tours! In my excursions I focus more on the modern life of Crete, but the historical and cultural component are necessarily there too. I make routes carefully choosing the most interesting places, only those that I love myself. In my stories you will not hear just the dates of historical events. Instead, I prefer to focus on the modern life of the Island, with humor, beautiful legends, interesting stories and curious facts with the accompaniment of unforgettable views of Crete. I look forward to meet the precious guests of Crete, to show you the treasures of the island! See you soon. .

We chose Anna because the reviews indicated she was a smart person, knows her history but more important knows how to make a tour fun and interesting. Anna was all of that and more. She was a pleasure to be with and adjusted to what we were looking to do very easily, and we had a very enjoyable time as a result. Highly recommended !
The tour was excellent. Anna provided wonderful detail about the region. I would highly recommend her for a tour. Everything about the experience was perfect.
