Information

Venue

The Workshop will take place at the Research Center FORTH. FORTH is close to the University of Crete campus approximately 8km south-west of the city center.

Getting to Heraklion By Air

Nikos Kazantzakis airport (airport code: HER) can be reached by direct flights from many European cities. They are frequent flights daily from Athens (and other major Greek cities) of Aegean Airlines, SKYexpress and other airlines. Flight time to/from Athens is approximately 50min.

Getting to Heraklion By Sea

Luxury ferries sail from Piraeus (Athens) to Heraklion every evening. Departure from Piraeus is typically at 9pm with arrival to Heraklion at 7am in the next morning. For precise schedule and fares please check: Minoan Lines, ANEK lines and Bluestar ferries. We recommend that you book a bed in a cabin and enjoy a trip in the Archipelago drinking, dining, shopping etc in the ferry.

Airport to City center

From Heraklion airport you may either use public transportation (bus) or a taxi (stationed just outside the arrivals building). We recommend the taxi option.

Port to City center

The port is located 1.2km from the city center. You may either take a taxi or opt for a walk to your hotel.

Approximate taxi fares

City center to University: 13-15€
Airport to University: 20-22€
Airport to city center: 14-15€

Public transportation

There are two bus lines to the University campus. Ticket vending machines are located next to most bus stations. You can also buy tickets from kiosks around the city. A convenient bus stop is located outside Hotel Astoria at Eleftherias Square.
