Spirit of Crete
Quite separate and independent from "Fenny's Tours", I can recommend Tony's good friend Tim Powell who, although not a tour guide but in fact a musician, can act as your personal assistant whilst you are on the island. Tim is bi-lingual (Greek/English) and has lived on the island for many years and has an unrivalled breadth of experience of Crete.
"Ever felt that you have visited a place and missed the very heart of it - the real SPIRIT OF CRETE ?"
He can show you a wealth of fascinating locations & the past and present everyday life of the Cretan people - all chosen to suit your individual interests.
Be it for a day or a full week, there is a whole range of ideas that could make your stay truly memorable.

Testimonial :
It's very difficult to get to the heart of a place when you're a complete stranger. Tourists get an image, but whether it's a true one is a different matter. I came to Hania to research a setting for a novel and needed a real understanding of the place. Without Tim Powell's help, I wouldn't have got anywhere near it. Tim knows Crete inside out; not just the tourist trails, but those bits of this intriguing town that might otherwise escape you. He knows the culture too, and especially the traditional music. With his fluency in the language, and his skills in translation, conversations become no problem. He finds you the right people to talk to, the best places to visit, he'll take you into bars and cafes you might not dare visit on your own. Whether for work or pleasure, Tim Powell will organise you a rewarding time in and around Crete.
