Our professional Historian, Apostolis Panigirakis, specializing in the Battle of Crete (BA-MSc) had the honour to be hosted in a radio programme from Radio New Zealand about the Maori 28th Battalion that fought during the Battle of Crete. Our travel agency in Chania is honoured that Apostolos Panigirakis is in charge of the Battle of Crete tours we offer all year round, and having this specialization, we offer 4 distinctive tours about World War 2 in Crete: Τhe Battle of Crete Chania Tour, The Battle of Crete Rethymno- Preveli Monastery Tour, The Sfakia ANZAC Evacuation Route, as well as the Battle of Crete Multi-Day Tour that focuses on all the aspects of the battle, as well as the villages that got ravaged due to the German reprisals after the battle.
Professional Historian for ANZAC tours & Battle of Crete Tours in Chania, Crete
Apostolis Panigirakis, our guide for the Battle of Crete tours in Chania is a professional historian and having studied contemporary history at the University of Crete has been providing for years private World War 2 history tours in Chania & Crete. This year is no exception, as a request from a Radio NZ Producer and former BBC hard talk producer Tama Muru, who was searching the footsteps of the NZ Battalions that fought in Crete during Operation Mercury. Being a New Zealander himself, the tour was of paramount importance, unearthing the various hidden or not-so-recognised aspects of the battle of Crete from our historian.
Eventually, the interview with Tama Muru and Apostolos Panigirakis about the Battle of Crete was aired recently, and you can hear it on the Radio NZ website.
ANZAC Tours in Crete
A big portion of the guests of our travel agency in Chania are from British Commonwealth Nations and for a good reason: Our history expertise helps families of WW2 Victims, history enthusiasts, or relatives of Battle of Crete soldiers follow the footsteps of the soldiers on the Battlefields, visit unknown historical sights and explore the Battle for Crete in a unique way. For this reason, we, at Proper Cretan Guide Travel Agency in Chania, would like to thank Radio NZ and journalist Tama Muru for his acknowledgement of our efforts and his trust in our historian for being able to contact this honest and unsponsored interview for the fallen NZ Anzac soldiers and their role to the battle of Crete. We will remember them!
