Stunning scenery will surround you at all times, make Santorini an extremely attractive place to take your TEFL course.

In the “Mysterious Island” Captain Nemo and his crew watched the famous eruptions and the Caldera View is still one of the most breathtaking sites in the entire world. Jules Verne visited Santorini during the eruptions of 1866-1870 and went on to immortalise it in his work.

In 3000 BC a huge eruption was responsible for the demise of the Minoan civilization. The huge crater formed now form 85-meter high cliffs upon which many of the islands villages are built upon. Typically Greek, Santorini has various places of archaeological and historical interest. The aura and beauty of the great volcano is joined by the Venetian fortress at Pirgos and the ruins of ancient Thira to make a truly fascinating place.
