Traveling:
Participants should take a flight landing at the International
Airport of Athens.
On Sunday, May 15th, there will be taxis sent from
Chalkida to the Airport in order to take the participants directly to
Paliria Hotel. Each taxi could typically take 3 passengers and the cost
per taxi should not be more than 120 Euros (that is 40 Euros/person).
Similarly, we can arrange for taxis to take people to the airport at
the end of the workshop. Assuming normal traffic, it should be a 1-hour
ride.
It is possible to travel from Athens Airport to the Conference Venue
using public transportation.
However, it will not be significantly
cheaper and it will take (much) more time.
First alternative:
BUS
Take the bus X93 from Athens Airport and get off at
the Intercity Bus Terminal KTEL Liosion (NOT at KTEL Kifisos which is
the last stop). From there, there is an intercity bus to Chalkida
typically every 1/2 hour, except at later hours, with the last bus
leaving at 22:30. When you arrive at the Bus Station in Chalkida take a
local taxi, costing a few Euros, to get to the hotel.

choose your date in order to check the timetable for intercity buses.)
Second alternative:
TRAIN
Take the Suburban Railway from Athens Airport to
SKA (Rail Center of Acharnes). From there take a train to Chalkida.
Notice that from SKA there is a direct train to Chalkida only every 2
hours. If the train is not direct, you will have to change again at
Oinoi, with a presumably long connection time. After you arrive at the
train station in Chalkida, you can walk to the Hotel.
