Lexis Centre
Greek language school in Crete, Greece
LOCATION AND FACILITIES
Lexis Centre is located in Chania, a city of
approximately 70.000 inhabitants, with a long history that dates from ancient times. The
city's old part is well - preserved and charming and the modern part is alive and
organized.
The city offers many opportunities for recreation and entertainment in both summer and
winter time. Summer time is best for relaxation, since the city is by the sea and is also
the place where many excursions and walks begin to the rich natural environment of the
Prefecture of Hania (beaches, mountainous paths, water springs, gorges, traditional
villages, orchards, olive tree groves).
The Greek language and Culture Centre is fully equipped with modern facilities,
situated on the first floor of a building that lies on the historic square of Splantzia,
very close to the venetian harbour and also a few minutes from the heart of the modern
city and its commercial centre.
It is a quiet square with an old plane - tree in its middle with coffee shops and the
orthodox church of Saint Nicholas to the east with one of the city's typical minarets
alongside. The Centre has two fully equiped multimedia classrooms, a small library with
books, magazines, music, video and a small kitchen - refreshment room to be used by the
students. The school's mail and e-mail address can be used by the students any time to
receive their personal messages. |
