Thank you for registering for one or more preconference courses on April 18 and 19 or the conference on April 20 and 21.

Check out the venue

how to get to the conference hotel

Athens International Airport is located 33 km southeast of Athens. It is easily accessible via the Athens ring road (Attiki Odos). The drive from downtown Athens takes 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic.

By Metro

Metro Line 3 connects the airport to the city centre (Syntagma Square).

At Syntagma Square you have to change to Metro Line 2 and get of at Acropoli station.
From there it is a 3 minute walk (250 m) to the hotel.

The journey time is approximately 50 minutes.
Trains run every 30 minutes, 7 days a week from 6:30 am to 11:30 pm.

The most cost effective way is buying a return ticket (16 euro) as the combined 5 day tickets do not include travel to and from the airport!

The hotel is located near touristic sites and if you would like to travel by metro during the stay then you can also buy an extra 5-day metro ticket.

By Taxi

Taxis are available outside Exit 3 of Arrivals Level. A taxi from the airport to the city centre costs a flat rate of €40 from 5 am to midnight, and €55 from midnight to 5 am. The rate is determined by the time of arrival at the destination and includes all applicable surcharges.

 

Below you will find an overview of the events you registered for, if this should not be correct please contact the secretariat at ebsa-office@ebsaweb.eu.
