About Crete Insider
Hello! Welcome to my blog about Crete!
I’m Gabi Ancarola and I’m the Crete Insider.
I’m a travel writer who calls Chania home.
I know Crete like the back of my hand!
Crete Insider aims to be your go-to resource for planning a trip here, with helpful tips and insider knowledge that go beyond the usual stuff in most guides!
I share insights about the island’s culture, food, and travel experiences, as well as practical tips and personal anecdotes that are valuable for travelers seeking authentic and immersive experiences.
I spend a lot of time getting to know Crete inside out, diving into its history, cuisine, and local traditions. My deep appreciation for the Cretan culture inspired me to start Crete Insider, where I share everything about Crete’s awesomeness through my articles, travel guides, and customized day trips.
After years of exploring Crete, I’ve discovered much more than just the usual tourist spots. I’m all about digging into the lesser-known parts of the island and finding the secret spots that make Crete so special.
But wait, there’s more! I also love sharing useful tips for travelers, like where to find family-friendly fun, budget-friendly places to stay, and the best spots for authentic local eats.
I don’t just write articles—I’ve also created a special place to help you plan your Crete adventure: Crete Planner.
I hope my blog can be a helpful resource for anyone planning a trip here, offering tips and insights beyond regular guidebooks or mainstream online lists.
And because I live right here on the island, I can give you a real insider’s perspective on our culture and way of life! Let’s make your Crete journey awesome together!
