I began my career in tourism 35 years ago, immediately after graduating from the Higher Education School of professional Tour Guides of Greece. I had the opportunity to experience both the contact with clients and at the same time the evolution of the newly-born Greek travel industry. Gaining my initial experience in the field in 1982 with a specialized incoming travel agency named Talos Tours, based in Crete. For the next twelve years I successfully represented and provided services for many European travel and tourism companies. Relocating to Brussels I subsequently diversified into tour operating which, from 1992 to 2000 enabled me to accrue extensive knowledge and experience along with personal/business contacts within the field of European and world travel and tourism. On my return to Crete I decided to utilize my combined accumulated experience within the Greek market as niche Tour operator (special interests programs), Leisure Industry Consultant and Event Management. Now based in Rethymnon I head a dynamic, highly qualified team.
