Noted for its year-round mild Mediterranean climate, Corinth, in Greece, easily blends the grace of past centuries with the warmth of present-day hospitality.  An electric tram now links Corinth with Athens, just 50 miles away, but you won’t be needing it much for either history or excitement.  Corinth itself is full of upscale stores and trendy coffee shops and nightclubs, as well as a host of commercial enterprises that mean steady employment for the TEFL graduate.

History comes alive on every street in Corinth, where Turks, Crusaders, Romans, Phoenicians, and many other ancient people strove to either master or destroy this fascinating sea port.  The Apostle Paul gave Christianity several of its most important doctrines here, through his Epistles to the Corinthians.A wide blend of philosophy and religion runs through the town, making the citizens open-minded and welcoming.  Today the city is noted for its fine leatherwork, as well as an incredibly diverse cuisine combining elements of European and Eastern ingredients that make every gyro sandwich an orgy for your taste buds.  It’s impossible to get a bad meal, or a rude waiter, in Corinth!

Turn your back on the history and industry of Corinth and you’ll be facing the fascinating Peloponnesian waters. Snorkel in the waters of the bay, or sail away for a weekend on one of the many small islands that dot the coastline.

Whatever you choose to do with your time in Corinth, you’ll do it well-fed, well-traveled, and, with your TESOL certificate, well-paid.

The house is two minutes’  walk from the center of the village, with all the facilities such as shops, post office, banks, bus station and taxi rank. It’s ten minutes’ walk from the beach. Vrahati has excellent beaches, awarded with the European Union's Blue Flag, and is a busy resort in the summer. It's a center for nightlife, with lots of cafes, restaurants, bars and night clubs, but still relatively unspoilt.

It has two single rooms and one triple, accommodating a total of five people. Rooms in the main house are allocated on a first-come, first served basis, so we recommend you book as early as possible.

A shared room (one large bedroom with either two single beds or a double bed for a couple) is included in the all-inclusive fee. Single rooms are available for 100 euros extra.
