What our students said about Chania (Crete)

When I was there, it was very hot, around 36 degrees, but that's not Chania's fault, it has to do with climate change, it was usually around 30 degrees at that time. The advantage was that the water in the sea wasn't too cold and I preferred to stay in the water.

5.0Dimitrios Germany

I already knew inner city Chania. Neo Chora district is great fun base. Walked a lot and hired car in weekend to go to Botanical Gardens. Bus was not yet running due to winter schedule.

3.0Mischa Netherlands

Feel unable to comment on nightlife, had visited the town before and enjoyed returning although both shops and restaurant owners fail to understand that pestering counter-productive

4.0Ann England UK

A beautiful little place with a historic old town with many small shops and small streets, a Venetian harbor and a wonderful soft sandy beach without pebbles!

Effies Greek Language School

My teacher Eleni was wonderful, very personable, taught me everything well, she also speaks great German, the chemistry was right and I even happened to have private lessons because there were few students at the time and we all had different levels. All the other teachers and the teacher Effie are also very nice. The other students too. I felt very comfortable there! The week went by far too quickly. Now I just have to put what I've learnt into practice...

The evaluations by students after they complete a course is excellent. The discount for using your website is also a great incentive. It also would be wonderful if the website would include more cities and a bigger selection of schools in each city.
Basil Havens verified client
The service of languagecourse.net is great, I booked already 3 schools and I can highly recommend it. In fact, I tell everybody I meet on my journey in South America about this website and how well everything is organized.
Gabriele Ragger verified client
I am very satisfied. I found more/relevant information on your webpage than on the school's website itself. It is the cheapest offer. I'm going to book my next course on your site soon.
