Transport
Arrangements have been made for transporation from Athens airport to the hotels in Tripolis by a chartered bus and shared taxis. This is the most effective way and economical way (see details below). As most people seem to be arriving around 2pm on Monday 11 June (KLM1575 & BA640) a chartered 50-seat bus will be waiting at the airport and will depart around 2:30pm. Look for the "Dynamic2007" signs. A list of expected passengers will be circulated via email. Nominal charge about E20. Provided a large number of people take this bus it will be FREE. Tripolis-KerastariThere is no regular public transport service between Tripolis and the village. During the workshop there will be chartered buses which will transport the participants in the morning and evening. The cost is included in the registration fees. Driving takes about 20 minutes. A taxi fare is about E17. Athens airport - TripolisMost people will fly into Athens airport and will need to make their way to the hotels in Tripolis. However, from Italy one can take the overnight ferry from Brindisi to Patras with their own car and then drive around. The new Athens airport has a very good website, revamped in 2007 and found on Athens airport. There are many ways to get to Tripolis from Athens airport but there are 3 distinct stages: Some options with approximate time and price estimates are given below. A. Buses only
B. Taxi-bus
C. Taxi airport - Tripolis
D. Hire cars Summary: The transport Athens airport - Tripolis will cost in the range E20-150 and can take up to 4 hours. If we coordinate and share, it can cost as little as E35 by private taxi and take less than 2 hours. If there are a lot of people arriving in a short period, we can also look into chartered buses. Tripolis - Athens airportReturning to the airport after the workshop one can (almost) follow the instructions above in reverse order. However, it will be much easier to coordinate transport for the return trips and I anticipate we will make greater use of taxis. The LOC will help participants with arrangements at the time. |
