(The American College of Greece, Aghia Paraskevi Campus, 6 Gravias Street)

All of the Pre-Colloquium and Colloquium sessions will run at The American College of Greece.

The Pre-Colloquium social events, as well as the Wednesday Colloquium reception, will be hosted on Campus.

 

Directions from Athens City Centre to the Aghia Paraskevi Campus are provided, as the hotels booked for the Colloquium are downtown. 

Access to the Campus is pretty straightforward.  The distance between the City Center (Syntagma Square) and the Campus is approximately 11 kilometers.

 

There are different ways of getting to the venue.  The preferred one consists of two steps (as shown on the map that follows):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 1: From the City Centre (Syntagma Square) to Nomismatokopeio (the thin blue line on the map that follows, Metro Line 3).  The ticket is €1.20 and can be used for 70 minutes on any means of public transport.  Most of the Colloquium hotels are located close to the Blue Metro Line 3 stations).

 

STEP 2: From Nomismatokopeio to the Campus (the thick blue line one the map that follows).  For this second step there are three options:

• Shuttle busses that will run for the Colloquium will run for the Colloquium from 7:45 to 8:30 taking delegates to the campus, as well as at the end of each day's work, taking delegates to Nomismatokopeio.

 

Please note that this will be a ‘first come, first served basis’.
