About the host

Hosted by Vagelio

Host profile image
Hello, I'm Vagelio, and at 58 years young, I have a story to share. Born and raised in the picturesque village of Galia, my journey led me to Mires, where I've nurtured my own flower shop since 1980. It's more than a livelihood, it's a passion cultivated over decades. But life isn't just about work—it's about family. I'm blessed with two incredible daughters who fill my heart with joy and purpose. Together, we embarked on a transformative journey in 2014, breathing new life into our cherished family home. It's been a labor of love, each brick and beam echoing the bonds that unite us. Nature beckons to me, whispering secrets of the sea and the mountains. Hiking is my soul's medicine, a chance to commune with the ancient landscapes of Crete. Every Sunday, my daughters and I lead intrepid explorers on mountain excursions, sharing the breathtaking vistas and untold stories of our island home. And then there are my furry companions—three loyal dogs who remind me to embrace life's simple pleasures and find joy in the everyday. Together, we navigate the winding paths of existence, finding solace in each other's company. So come, join me on this journey of discovery. Let's explore the beauty of Crete together, weaving tales of adventure and forging memories to last a lifetime
