Venue
All conference talks will be held in the “Alkiviades Payatakes” meeting room in the central building of FORTH (“Eleftherios Economou“ building, 1st floor).
The nearest airport is Heraklion International Airport and can be reached from Athens (several flights per day, duration: about 40min). In October there are still direct flights from many European cities.
Accommodation
Please book accommodation in the city of Heraklion. FORTH is on the outskirts of Heraklion, but the area close to it does not offer many options for accommodation or dining out, and it is not well served by public transport or easily accessible on foot. We recommend the following hotels in the centre:
