On some days, volunteers meet with their students for informal English language training. At other times, instructions may take the form of field trips, scavenger hunts, games or other organized events. In the fall and spring, volunteers work primarily with tourist industry workers and city workers. Because conversational skills are emphasized over grammar, most native English speakers may be of service to this program. Travel You will be met at the Chania airport on Crete by Global Volunteers' North American team leader and transported to the host community.
Volunteers stay in a delightful mountain villa, double occupancy, with singles available.
Authentic Greek meals are prepared by local women and volunteers at the villa. From the villa, you are only a short drive to the beaches on both the north and south coasts. In addition to relaxing at the water, you may visit the monastery of Arkadi or the great Minoan palace of Knossos, both near capital city of Iraklion. Throughout the island, you may visit mosques, grottos and scenic gorges. Free-time arrangements and costs are your responsibility.
