CHANIA, CRETE, GREECE Chania, the “Venice of the East”. Chania, or XANIA as it is spelled in Greek, is a beautiful coastal town located on Crete, the largest of all the Greek islands. Crete lies south of the Aegean Sea, providing a vital link between Asia Africa and Europe. The landscape encompasses rugged snow capped mountains and lush green coastal plains. There are many historical sites to visit including Knossos, home of the fabled Minotaur. The island offers an abundance of beautiful beaches and rocky coves, charming villages and quaint harbours as well as excellent food. Chania is a unique town bearing a rich and long history and culture. Its name is often glorified in historical documents as the town raised brave soldiers, ground-breaking politicians, intellectuals and artists. It is considered the town of Justice and Freedom and its rare beauty justifies its characterization as the “Venice of the East.” The town of Chania was a crossroads between the East and the West for many centuries, and for this reason it was claimed by its enemies and suffered the presence of many conquerors. Chania was built, according to archaeological research, on the ruins of the ancient town of Kydonia, dating back to the Minoan period. We are a small and friendly team offering you the warmest welcome. Our teaching staff and support staff have many years of TEFL experience and just as importantly Chania experience. Our staff are permanent residents of Chania that have invaluable knowledge that will get to know Chania from the ground up. The old town of Chania has managed to preserve its cultural heritage and traditional architecture and to successfully combine it with our modern-day lifestyle. A walk in the narrow streets of the old town offers nostalgic images from the past. Chania has some unique monuments, the Grand Arsenal, the Egyptian Lighthouse, the Venetian dockyard (“Neoria”) etc. Walk through the streets and discover the numerous churches and the majestic neoclassical buildings. Enjoy the sea breeze at the portside, the colours of the old town and taste the local cuisine in picturesque restaurants and taverns.

Chania’s old town is considered Crete’s most beautiful urban district, especially the crumbling Venetian harbour with its 15th century lighthouse Faros and the Mosque of the Janissaries Giali Tzamissi, built in the 17th century. Many of the old buildings have been restored as hotels, restaurants, shops and bars, making the old town a lively and colourful place during the tourist period especially May-September. The Splantzia quarter behind the inner harbour and the Venetian Arsenals are still largely untouched and very atmospheric. This atmosphere prevails throughout the old town during the less busy period of the year November-March. The climate is relatively mild. During the autumn and winter months north and north-west winds dominate, while in the summer the southerly winds bring the warmth of the Sahara Desert. Chania Prefecture has the largest amount of fresh water in Crete (65%) and is rich in plants and fruit trees as well as semi-tropical plants. Lastly, don’t forget that the Greeks are notorious for having a good time. You’ve probably seen the plate smashing ritual, but have you seen the fire dance? If you study in Chania, you’re almost guaranteed to have the time of your life! If you’re in the mood to thoroughly immerse yourself in Greece, do it in Chania!

Your passport with your visa stamp with at least 6 months left to run on it (with
a visa if you need one – refer to the visa section for more information). A round-trip or onward travel ticket if you aren't already in Crete (Greece). If

WILL I REALLY GET A JOB TEACHING ENGLISH IN CRETE (GREECE)? There is a great demand for teachers both on the mainland cities and throughout the Greek islands including Crete, Corfu, Thebes, Thessaloniki and Larissa. The main types of teaching positions are in private language schools (Frontisteros) and private lessons either in the student’s home or your own depending on the situation. Types of classes vary from simple general English to preparation for exams set by several examination bodies like Cambridge, Michigan and Edexcel. Age-groups range from young learners to adults. The need to speak English is on the increase for most Greek professional workers as well. Since Greece depends on tourism as its main source of income, learning English is a

Local transportation Chania is a great place to see on foot, but there is also local transportation. Bus Chania has a well organized bus service (KTEL) and the central bus station is located in Chania. The routes connecting Chania to other cities of Crete, such as Heraklion and Rethymno, are frequent. There are also local services serving most areas of the city. Taxis You can find a taxi quite easily in the capital and in most of the other popular resort areas of Chania. There are lots of taxi ranks and radio/phone taxi services. Charges are predetermined for most of the popular destinations so you should ask before getting in the taxi or calling to ask for one. Car Car rental services are available at reasonable prices. However, do not forget to bring your driving license. Town day trips Chania town is a great base to stay in, due to its many bus connections. There are buses to some of the island’s famous beaches. These are well worth visiting, although they become relatively crowded in summer. You can also take a bus to Kissamos and from there a ferry to Balos Lagoon - a beautiful paradise of white sand and shallow jade waters.

There are different types of bars in Chania and they all feature different types of music, some of which is played live. Not only can Greek music be heard in some of the bars, but other popular types of music such as Latin, European and American music is also played. The nightlife in Chania goes on and on, and often does not end until about five in the morning. Because of this, most people (both locals and tourists) do not start their entertainment until fairly late in the evening , usually at around ten or eleven at night. Local weather conditions
Winter - cold (0º to 10º C) Spring - pleasant (10º to 25º C) Summer - hot (25º to 30º C) Fall/Autumn - pleasant (10º to 25º C)

As this description is an average, we highly recommend that you check current weather conditions prior to departure to assist you in your travel preparations. Questions about living in Chania What are the average housing and living expenses when working in Greece? Most likely you will rent a room in an apartment or house with other teachers or with Greeks, and of course it depends on where you choose to live. A room in a shared house or apartment in a good neighbourhood costs about 200 to 300 Euros a month. It is fair to say that TEFL teachers are quite well-paid by local standards in Greece, which means they can afford a comfortable standard of living. A TEFL teacher can expect to earn between 1,000 and 1,500 Euros per month working 20 to 30 hours per week. While this may not sound a lot by international standards, it means you can live quite comfortably in Chania.

EXCLUSIVE TO EBC GRADUATES
How much money should I bring? You should budget to spend between 500 Dollars (Spartan life) to 1,000 Dollars (good life) for the period covering the 28 day course. If you want to stay and work in Chania or the rest of Greece you should budget between 1,000 to 2,000 Dollars to cover finding apartments in Chania and living expenses until you get your first pay-check. What if I get sick in Chania? If you find yourself requiring urgent medical attention, you can use the Greek National Health service. However, we recommend that you get health insurance before you travel.

EBC International TEFL Certificate—Accredited TEFL training
READY TO START? EBC’s mission is to ensure that you achieve your teaching goals and get you started on a successful EFL career. We focus on quality training and getting you a job in the shortest time possible, usually within a week or less. The four week, intensive EBC International TEFL Certificate course is a practical and thorough course designed for candidates with no previous experience teaching English. It is also suitable for candidates with some experience but no formal training in the TEFL TESOL field. The EBC online TEFL course offers weekly tutorial and feedback sessions live with your trainer and even better, 6 hours of observed teaching practice given to real English language learners. Our EBC hybrid TEFL course is the same as the online course except that you do your teaching practice with us in Chania. EBC is an accredited centre of the College of Teachers and awards TEFL certificates that are internationally recognised.
