## Career

She was born in [Grevena](/source/Grevena) and started her volleyball career at the age of 7 playing for her hometown's club, Grevena G.C. In 2005 at the age of 15, Chantava took the first big step in her career, when suddenly from playing against local teams, she found herself competing in the A1 league with [Iraklis Thessaloniki](/source/Iraklis_Thessaloniki_V.C.) (2005–2009) alongside great athletes. While she was playing for Iraklis she took the opportunity at the age of 16 to play with the [Greece women's national volleyball team](/source/Greece_women's_national_volleyball_team) for the first time.

After that and for the next two seasons (2009–11) she signed a contract with [Olympiacos](/source/Olympiacos). On 16 April 2011, they won the [Greek Cup](/source/Greek_Cup), the first trophy for the women's club. Chantava was voted most valuable player.

For the next season, she moved to Izmir and signed a one-year-contract (2012–2013) with [Karşıyaka](/source/Kar%C5%9F%C4%B1yaka_Women's_Volleyball_Team) (Turkish 2nd league), and her team qualified for the final four of the Turkish cup, the first time in history of Turkish volleyball that a team from second division beat a team from first division and they played the final four of Turkish cup against Vakıfbank, Galatasaray and Eczacıbaşı. They took the 4th place. For the next season she turned back in Greece for the team of [Nargile Vrilissia](/source/FO_Vrilissia) (1st division-Greece) and with very good performances she took the MVP of the year 2013–2014.
