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, provid-
ing 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 har-
bours 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glorified in historical documents as the town raised brave soldiers, ground-breaking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 port-
side, the colours of the old town and taste the local cuisine in picturesque restau-
rants 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 large-
ly 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!

Mandatory
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
you arrive only with a one-way ticket and passport control asks to see your re-
turn ticket, they will force you to buy a return ticket on the spot. This will be
very expensive. The chances of this happening are unlikely but not impossible
so play it safe.
Your signed course payment receipts.
If you have a degree, a copy of your transcripts (official or unofficial) or a copy
of your degree certificate.
Recommended items for the TEFL course
Laptop computer - Check that it is wireless B/G compatible. We give you the
codes to connect to our free WIFI but you are responsible for configuring your
laptop and making sure it works properly and connects.
Mobile/Cell phone - If you have a tri-band phone - BRING IT. You will find that it
is cheaper to buy a pay-as-you-go card for your phone than it is to buy a new
phone. Being contactable by phone is VERY important. Good local phone com-
panies: Cosmote, Vodafone and Wind
We HIGHLY RECOMMEND that you take out personal accident and health insur-
ance.
Scissors, notebook, glue, pens and pencils, paper clips, blue-tac (don't forget
to put your scissors and other sharp objects in your check-in baggage)

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 situ-
ation.
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

EBC JOB SUPPORT basic necessity and therefore an ideal opportunity for those wishing to live and work
abroad.
Chania has a big need for native English teachers and many language schools in Cha-
nia don't care if a prospective teacher has a work permit.
EBC graduates work at full market rates (12 to 18 Euros/hour)
This is the reality of the current work situation in Chania.
WHAT IS THE TEFL JOB MARKET IN CRETE (GREECE) LIKE?
The TEFL job market in Crete (Greece) is always good and hiring is year-round.
Don't delay looking for a job until you start running out of money. The best time to
get a job is when you finish the course. We send your CV/resume directly to the
hiring managers in schools in Crete (Greece). Most schools in Crete (Greece) do not
care whether you have a work permit or not.
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE SALARY FOR AN ENGLISH TEACHER?
The average salary in Chania is about 12 to 18 Euros/hour. This varies depending on
what type of school or company you work for and whether you work full or part-
time. We do not recommend that you accept less than 12 Euros per month unless
the school is also throwing in some other incentives like free language lessons.
HOW MANY EBC GRADUATES REALLY FIND WORK IN GREECE?
The EBC course training centre in Chania also runs a language school. Subject to
availability, you may get offered an English teaching job by the language school at
the end of the course.

MORE ABOUT CHANIA
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, alt-
hough they become relatively crowded in summer. You can also take a bus to Kissa-
mos and from there a ferry to Balos Lagoon - a beautiful paradise of white sand and
shallow jade waters.

If you like hiking there are some fantastic walks in the area. There are also a number
of gorges to climb, although the famous Samaria gorge will be more crowded and
touristy than the others.
Shopping
Chania has an impressive variety of goods to offer shoppers, from top designer la-
bels and exquisite jewellery to fine antiques and high quality leather goods. Shops
are open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday 9 am to 3 pm and on Tuesday and
Thursday fro 9 am to 8 pm. Tourist shops are open 9 am to 10 pm. 7 days the week.
Greece is famous for it’s original jewellery design and competitive prices. Greeks
have always been good at making jewellery, as proved by both ancient and modern
history. Jewellery shops can be found in all tourist areas of Chania. Other thing to
buy from Chania are wine, embroidery, handicrafts woven goods, folk art, and vari-
ous cheese (e.g. xynotyro, kefalotyri, anthotyro and graviera).
COMMON-SENSE WARNING: Shopping areas are always full of tourists and there-
fore pick-pockets so watch your purse or wallet.
Beaches and swimming
The closest beaches are Agioi Apostoloi, Agia Marina and Platanias. These beaches
start just outside central Chania on the road from Chania to Kissamos. The distance
from central Chania to the start of the beach is only 5 km. and you can easily get
there by bus or taxi. There are water sports available or you can simply relax and
enjoy the Greek sun.
Night life
For those who want to spend an evening a bit off the beaten path, there are many
places to go which provide an evening full of entertainment. Most people start the
evening with a late dinner at a tavern, a cafe, or a small restaurant that provides
home-cooked types of cuisine.
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 enter-
tainment 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.

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’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 previ-
ous 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 ses-
sions 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.
