Born and raised in Chania, Crete, I bring a local’s perspective and a historian’s depth to every tour I offer.With a BA in History & Archaeology, an MSc in Tourism Business Management, and official accreditation as a licensed tourist guide, I’ve combined my academic background with my passion for sharing the cultural and historical richness of my homeland.

My goal isn’t just to show you the sights—but to help you truly connect with the stories, the people, and the spirit of Crete.Whether we’re walking through the ruins of Knossos, exploring Aptera’s commanding hilltop views, uncovering WWII bunkers, or simply watching the sunset over Chania’s Old Harbour, I aim to offer more than a tour—a meaningful, memorable experience rooted in authenticity and historical context.

Let’s explore Crete together—the proper way.
