I arrived in Crete many years ago, for a 2-week holiday. It turned out to be the longest two weeks of my life.
The magic of Crete caught me immediately in its spell, and I just decided to stay. Because I speak 4 languages fluently and can get by in a few more, I didn’t have too many problems finding a job in the tourism sector. During this time I realised that there was a lot wrong with the tourism industry, but didn’t really think about it too much, I was too busy working.
When Covid 19 turned the whole world on its head, my job was seriously affected by this. This gave me the chance to to really look at my misgivings about the industry, and the time to develop my own ideas about what tourism is and how it should be approached.
This is when the idea of Magical Crete started taking shape…
I met this crazy Irish guy on one of the rather boring trips on the ferry to Gramvousa and Balos when I was working as a tour guide.
When I finally got used to his accent and understood what he was actually saying, things got a lot easier and we got on very well.
The man’s knowledge is just incredible, and what was even more incredible was that he was willing to share it with me.
When I understood what he was thinking about and wanted to do, I knew this was something I wouldn’t mind getting involved with.
And then, he asked if I would be interested in developing his ideas and being part of Magical Crete…
During our time developing our ideas Enda got a little too enthusiastic now and again and did some damage to himself, sometimes quite serious damage.
While trying to stop him from doing further damage and making him see a the sense in caution and care, he gave me the status of his “Guardian Angel” …
