The airport closest to the conference venue is that of the city of Chania. The Orthodox Academy of Crete (OAC) is located 39 km west of the airport. The easiest way to reach the academy from the airport is via taxi. The full fare including airport surcharge should be about 60 Euros. (Here you can find a currency converter).
The cheapest (but inconvenient) possibility is to take the bus from the airport to the city of Chania and then take the bus towards Kastelli that stops at Kolymbari. This, however, will bring you about 1km before the location of the OAC.
In case you need to fly to Heraklion there are 3 ways to reach OAC: A taxi would cost around 150 Euros for the trip. You can take the bus from Heraklion to Chania (one bus per hour). It takes 3hrs to reach Chania and then you may take a bus or taxi to Kolymbari. (If you need to rent a car at Heraklion and drive to Kolymbari, please contact us for suggestions.)
Finally another way to reach Chania from Athens is by boat. There are two companies involved, ANEK LINES and Minoan Lines. The boat brings you to Souda Bay, from which you can access Chania by bus.
For the coordination of transport arrangements please contact the local organizer Xenophon Zotos.
