Stavros Mountoufaris

My name is Stavros. I was born and raised in Heraklion, Crete, where I live and work as an official tourist guide. I am archeologist with a degree in History and Archaeology from the University of Crete and a licensed Tour-Guide by the Ministry of Tourism. History, archeology, art, small and big hidden stories, mystery, monuments and artefacts, tradition and travels are my biggest passion.

I have also worked as a tour leader, archaeologist, journalist, TV and radio producer, newspaper and magazine editor. As an archaeologist I have taken part in various excavations on the island of Crete. I am a novel writer with four books published by Libanis publications. I speak English, Italian and Spanish.

I love my island, its fascinating history, traditions and legends. I am passionate about discovering the hidden gems of my homeland and sharing my knowledge and experience. Let’s go back in time to unveil all those secrets of the past.
Follow me to the island of Crete, the island of history, of tradition, and legends. Ιndulge in a unique Cretan adventure and experience something unforgettable.

Let our journey begin…
