My name is Marilina Paters and I was born on the island of Crete, Greece.I am an official Licensed Tourist Guide working in Crete Greece, holding a PGC in Prehellenic Religion and Arts and Mythology. For almost twenty years,  I have been working as an official licensed guide, having guided on Crete and on other Greek islands, on the mainland Greece in the most important archaeological sites, in Northern Greece, in Peloponnese and in the country’s most important archaeological museums.Crete and its unique archaeological sites, historic monuments, traditional villages and picturesque towns, beautiful nature and ancient arts have always fascinated me.The island where European culture and history started, is indeed the place where I always enjoy living in and sharing with my guests.Another big part of myself has always been dedicated to Arts and especially the Art of dance and theater, which I have been exploring since an early age.I consider the Arts an undivided part of my country's culture and I suggest the experiential exploration of several Ancient Greek Arts in my itineraries such as Music, Theater, Dance, Pottery making etc.One more important component in my tours is the living tradition on my island, the traditional areas of Crete.I suggest the exploration of really authentic parts of Crete where my guests can experience our old, time-honored customs and traditions and go deeper into the Cretan living. If you are looking for  Alternative, Artistic, Experiential and Tailor-made ways to visit Crete, focusing on the combination of History, Archaeology, Natural living, Tradition and ancient Arts you are very welcome in my private tours!
