The schedule for the the CS ferries are not all known yet. 
 
The conference will take place in the old olive mill of the village of Chora.

There are few accomodations in the village of Chora, hence most participant will have to stay close by the sea. We will have buses taking the participant to the village and back. There is also a very nice camping near Therma. More informations to come.

The village of Chora is about 5km from Kamariotissa. Should you feel up to it, renting a bicycle is a good option.

Some more informations:

  • Taxi from the airport to the city of Alexandroupolis is about 10€ (fare on the counter + 3euros)
  • The docks were the ferry leaves from is quite easy to find (close to the Faros).
    The airport is close to the city (it is a small city), let say that 15mn is the transfer time from the airport to the port with a taxi (see itinerary on google here )
  • Bring hiking shoes and swimwear
