Quick Tips!!!

1. Try to make as soon as possible travel arrangements (air tickets, ship tickets, hotels) in order to achieve the lowest possible price.

2. August is a full-season month and therefore prices are considered to be expensive, early registration will help to achieve low prices.

3. The sooner you register the earlier you will get the acceptance notification!!!

 

Accommodation

For your accommodation you may want to find a hotel near the venue. We have spoted the hotels near KLEOVOULOS Building (1 Leoforos Dimokratias St.) for your convenience (here).

The Organising Committee is under negotiation with some of the hotels in order to ensure low prices for your accommodation.

The list of the hotels will be announced very soon.
