About the host
Hosted by Thei Syfantou
My name is Thei Syfantou. I've grown up in many places of the country and I used to visit my grandma in Rethymno on Christmas days, Easter and summer (my grandpa was doctor in Rethymnon area). Since I was a child I was falling in love with this area and although my father comes from the famous Corfu island, I prefer Rethymno. I have studied Law in the University of Athens and years later, Social Anthropology on a very interesting subject about some specific Cretan manners and customs. So, during my research I had the chance to learn even more about this island with the ancient civilization and the open-hearted, warm and hospitable inhabitants and I want to share my love for Prines village and all this area of Rethymno Prefecture with my guests in LOTUS and ALOE villas. I love reading books, enjoying movies, world music and jazz, cycling, gardening, sailing, dancing, doing meditation, travelling, hiking, making new friends.
