Accommodation is available in the nearby town of Tripolis and buses will be available to transport the participants each day to and from the workshop venue in the village.
The LOC has approached the top 4 hotels in the list below. The hotels have offered the rates mentioned below for the week 11 to 17 June and participants will be able to book rooms until April 30. After these dates rooms could be still booked as available, at the prevailing rates. Consult the hotel webpages for more details on what is offered by each hotel. Please note that, even though a block booking rate is offered for the workshop, special rates at any time may be offered even below this block rate.
Participants should approach the hotels directly either by Phone, Email or Fax and I'm assured that hotel staff speak sufficient English to make the bookings. Please make sure that in your message or conversation refer to: "Block bookings for the Astrophysics Workshop in Kerastari, organised by Tasso Tzioumis". Do NOT book via the internet as the special rates do not appear. Best way is via email.
The room rates are quoted with a light breakfast. Also some refreshments will be available at the workshop every morning before starting.
Self-contained appartments and more traditional accommodation is also available in nearby villages and resorts but not in Tripoli itself. Thus a car will be needed for local transport. These may alos be suitable for people who may want a vacation in the region. Some details are available on the web e.g. The Amanites Guesthouse in Dimitsana, which is very picturesque and highly recommended. You can also contact the LOC if you need help.
Alternatively, you may contact the local Travel Agency, Destino Tours, who have agreed to help our workshop participants.
NB: Bookings are the responsibility of the participants and should be handled directly with the hotels. If you do run into trouble please send us an email and we will try to help.
Please let us know what hotel you have been booked into so we can organise the bus transport.
