Hi Jenny,

I am a nanny working for a Greek family in the centre of Heralion and would really like to meet friends as I too don't speak the language and finding it difficult to know where to go to meet people. I intend on staying a long time and need to socialise with someone over the age of 2 yrs ha ha
Hope you're well and look forward to hearing from you.

Hi everyone. I live in The UK and I'm looking into possibly teaching English in Crete if it's feasible. I'll like very much to get any feedback reg. jobs there, general life and even maybe meeting anyone in Crete since I may be visiting in another month or two. Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone!

I also moved to Heraklion for the summer to do an exchange - it would be great to meet some fellow expats.

I'm guessing you all have met by now, but it would be great to meet you all

Please ping me your e-mail addresses and I'd be happy to get in contact. Hope you all are enjoying Crete.

Cheers!

HI marie and Jenny!

I just moved to Heraklion for the summer on an exchange and would appreciate getting together with some people that speek english since it's pretty tough without knowing any Greek, I've found.

I'm sure you guys have settled in well by now, so it would be great to learn the ropes.

Cheers!

Hi Jenny,

There is a large and friendly expat community on Crete, including many Brits (as you can probably see from the posts already) and also many other English-speaking Europeans.

Have you thought of looking at the Cretan International Community web site? I can't post the URL here but just Google "Cretan International Community" and it will be on the first page. Also try the BritsinCrete forum for more friendly British folks!

Hope this helps

Hiya Jamie,

Are you still in Heraklion? I am moving there from Cambridge in less than a fortnight with my partner. Kinda daunted by the whole idea of moving out from England but I suppose anything is better than the shite weather here in England and wouldn't say no to some sunshine now for a change. Would love to meet some new people who speak English and hang out. Send me a message if anyone fancies meeting up when I arrive soon.

Cheers,
Arita
