Chania (Venetian: La Canea), also spelled Hania, is a city in Greece and the capital of the Chania regional unit. Located on the northwestern coast of Crete, it lies about 70 km west of Rethymno and 145 km west of Heraklion. A city of many tales—ancient, old, and modern—Chania is Greek yet infused with the influence of many civilizations. It is one of the most beloved and internationally visited destinations in Greece, attracting visitors all year round who often return again and again to this enchanting city, blessed by nature and steeped in history.
As of March 1, 2026, our school in Chania is delighted to welcome students to a new location in the heart of the city — while continuing to offer the same high-quality Greek language courses that we have proudly provided for the past 25 years.
Our new address is:
32 Iroon Polytechniou Street, Chania
The building is ideally situated very close to the Municipal Market and just 200 meters from the historic buildings of the Central Court, placing us right in the vibrant cultural centre of the city.
Our new premises are housed within the Zachariou Foreign Languages Center, which has been operating successfully for 40 years.
The building itself is a listed neoclassical property, offering:
10 fully equipped classrooms
A charming small garden
A warm and inspiring educational atmosphere
The centre was founded by P. Zachariou, a well-known educationalist with a deep interest in the evolution of the Greek language.
He is the author of three books related to the Greek language and an active poet. We are particularly proud of his recent speech delivered at the Chania Cultural Centre on February 9th, during the celebration of the International Day of the Greek Language — an event organized by the Chania Association for the Promotion of the Greek Language.
