WELCOME…
I’m Gabi Ancarola, journalist and travel writer. I’ve worked with Greek Reporter, Huffington Post, Greek TV, and other media bringing readers closer to their dream vacation in Greece. I moved to Crete about 5 years ago where I spend most of my time exploring this stunning island.
It’s my pleasure and my mission to share with you all my insider tips and ideas to plan your Crete escape, promoting local, authentic experiences and slow, independent travel on the island.
What sets me apart…
As a permanent resident, I bring an insider’s approach through the eyes of a foreigner. Writing accurate, useful, and super thorough travel guides is my real passion.
If you also enjoy adventures, the adrenaline of driving unknown roads, or if you adore heavenly beaches, then you’re at the right place. Here, you’ll find the best travel guides about Crete…
