Greece: english schools in corfu or crete???:

Hi Lia (my daughter's name and spelling!) There are no full time English schools in Crete. In Chania there are English classes for bi-lingual, or native English speaking children just twice a week, 2 hours a time. In Heraklion I am sure there is something similar, but not a full time English school. For more info see www.geocities.com/livingincrete Carolina

Greece: moving to crete:

Hi Wendi For answers to your questions about moving to Crete see my website www.geocities.com/livingincrete It has info about opportunities for employment, accommodation, schools etc. On Crete however, there are no English schools, only Greek. As for careers etc. they are pretty limited in Crete. Many Greek children go on to UK universities, and some stay in the UK, others follow careers by moving to Athens. Support for English families? Financially, none at all. Otherwise emotional support from your future friends in Crete. Carolina.

Greece: Specific questions on Crete:

just to quickly answer your questions on Crete; 1)Average cost of 2 bed apt in Chania 300 to 400 Euro/month 2)Electricity average 60 Euro/month incl cooking. Central heating (if apt. has) is usually oil fired- cost around 50 - 80 Euro/month average 3)Look around you should find something on ground floor 4)Cleaner/ironer - lots of people willing to do this . around 5 Euro per hour 5) Various foods/restaurants.. mexican, chinese , italian, arabic 6) "Cretan International community" - english speaking group - Americans, Canadians, Brits etc 7) Cost of car - not sure, but expensive compared to UK second hand cars!! Hope this helps some :) More info www.geocities.com/livingincrete
