How Spiders Came into Being; an Ancient Myth Retold

November 13, 2025/

Many, many moons ago, long before time was invented, there lived a man named Idmon of Colophon.

About Us

Hello, I'm Enda


I’m Enda, the founder of Magical Crete. I’m Irish and have been living in Crete since 2006 and worked here as a guide for many years.

This time of mainly inaction became a time of reflection on the tourist industry in general and my role in it. The result of this reflection is “Magical Crete”.

Browse the site, enjoy the posts and check out everything on offer from Magical Crete.

Hi, I'm Anoushka


I’m Anoushka, colleague, Magical Crete partner and guardian angel of Enda. I’m Czech and have worked as a guide in Crete for years.
I met Enda on the very boring ferry to Balos. We started talking. Once I got my head around his Irish accent and I could understand him it dawned on me that this guy was planning something special. 
I couldn’t believe it when he asked me if I wanted to join him in making his ideas become reality. 
And here we are, ready to show you a completely different, much more interesting Crete from the one you know from the tourist brochures. Enjoy Magical Crete!
