Yiannis Kotzianoglou began his career in tourism 27 years ago, immediately after graduating from the Higher Education School of professional Tour Guides in Greece.
He had the opportunity to experience both the contact with clients and at the same time the evolution of the newly-born Greek travel industry.

Yiannis gained his initial experience in the field in 1982 with a specialized incoming travel agency based in Crete. For the next twelve years he successfully represented and provided services for many European travel and tourism companies.

Relocating to Brussels he subsequently diversified into tour operating which, from 1992 to 2000 enabled him to accrue extensive knowledge and experience along with personal/business contacts within the field of European and world travel and tourism.

On his return to Crete he decided to utilize his combined accumulated experience within the Greek market as Leisure Industry Consultant; further diversifying his activities into the fields of web publishing and Event Management.

Now based in Rethymnon he heads a dynamic, highly qualified team.
