VIA LINGUA
Welcome to TEFL & TESOL courses in Greece
Getting here
Getting here is not quite as straightforward as, say, to Prague or Barcelona. However, we’ve done everything we can to make it as simple and inexpensive for you as possible and we think you’ll agree on arriving that it’s worth the effort!
We recommend that you book a flight into Athens International Airport (E. Venizelos) on either the Friday or the Saturday before the course start date (always a Monday). We can then arrange hostel (or hotel if preferred) accommodation near the centre of Athens (in Plaka, under the Akropolis) on the Friday/Saturday night. We can arrange to meet you in Athens on the Saturday prior to each course start date and arrange to escort you across to Crete: transport is normally by Ferry from Piraeus on the Saturday (Ferry leaves 4pm and arrives in Hania about 10pm), and you’d then be taken directly to your accommodation on arrival here. If you prefer to fly directly into Hania (recommended if you don’t enjoy sea travel or if you have a large amount of luggage to carry) then we can of course meet you on arrival at Hania airport at any time.
During the summer months there are a wide range of charter flight companies flying directly into Hania from most European destinations. If you need any help in book a flight or in arranging somewhere to stay in Athens for a night or two (if you’re arriving there early) please just let us know.
We understand that it isn't always possible to answer every question you may have on our website. We also appreciate the difficulties people may have in reaching someone by telephone from different countries and time-zones all around the world.
