Hi!

I’m Bella, the heart and soul behind “For The Love of Crete.” I visited this beautiful island for the first time in 2022 and fell deeply and madly in love with everything Cretan, including the Greek language — yes, I’m a student now! I’ve returned several times since then, and the truth is that nowhere else have I ever felt more at home than I do here.

I was not born in Crete, but Crete was born in me.

My mission is to help others experience Crete authentically, share my passion for this blessed island, and build a beautiful community of Crete lovers united by our shared passion for all things Crete!
