For over 18 years THC has been hosting people, regardless of age, with learning difficulties, challenging behaviour, autism, mental sickness and social harassment problems, coming from Greece, Cyprus, United Kingdom, Finland, Holland and other European Countries.

Most of our overseas guests are joining us for 7-days or two weeks. However, you are welcome to stay at the Centre for as long as you may wish!For local people with special needs we offer: Day Care, Weekend Holiday Breaks, Short-term Residential Care, and Summer Holiday Sessions.Animal Care, Therapeutic Riding, Bread Baking, Ergotherapy (Occupational Therapy) and Swimming are just a few of the programs and activities our visitors are getting involved with. Riding and other animal and farm-life related programs are done in co-operation with the Equestrian Farm of Crete. The farm is located just besides THC (a minute's walking distance).

For 2008, we have booked rooms at a local English-run hotel which offers 3* accommodation. It has a swimming pool and all that you would expect. We have also added Ergotherapy and Trekking. We can help find your group's flight tickets and travel insurance. This way our experienced team will help you organise and purchase you flights at the lowest rates. Find out more about flights and travel insurance.What makes THC unique is that it combines recreation with therapy, and tailors each holiday session according to the particular needs of every single group.

Holidaymakers spend joyfully the most of their day among animals, by feeding them and taking care of them.

“Our guests have individual needs, so, our services are adjusted to such needs, and surpass the expectations of the holidaymakers and their carers.”Through our extensive experience in entertaining and applying therapeutic programs, we have acquired an expertise in dealing with disadvantaged groups of people. These combined with our continuous commitment in improving and developing our services, have earned us a reputation as being the first choice for holiday sessions for this specialised audience. There is no better testament to this than the large number (over 80%) of our repetitive visitors.

Adults and children with disabilities of all ages are welcome to THC, in Crete.
