About Crete, Greece
The crown jewel of the Greek Islands, Crete is loved not only for its sandy beaches but also for its unique culture, warm hospitality, and fascinating history. The TEFL center is located in Hania, arguably Crete’s most exotic city, known for its narrow streets winding through Venetian buildings, restaurants, and hotels.
While getting your TEFL certification in Hania, you can shop the food stalls of the public market, visit the tranquil and shady public gardens or take in views of the impressive Turkish mosque that dominates the harbor, the focal point of the town’s activity. Hania, which is small enough to get around in on foot, is also a great starting point for exploring the solitude and wilderness of Crete’s western interior.
TEFL trainees can visit Crete’s vibrant harbor cities or spend a relaxing day on the sun-drenched beaches along the coast. The ruins of Knossos provide an interesting glimpse into Crete’s 3,000-year-old Minoan civilization, while the rugged Samaria Gorge boasts some of Europe’s best natural scenery.

- Friendly environment: The school has an outdoor veranda for students to socialize and relax.
