Practical informations

To go to Samothrace:

The conference will  take place in the old olive mill of village of Chora.

There are few accomodation in the village of Chora, hence most participant will have to stay close by the sea. We will have buses taking the participant to the village and back. There is also a very nice camping near Therma. More informations to come.

The village of Chora is about 5km from Kamariotissa. Should you feel up to it, renting a bicycle is a good option.

Some more informations:

  • Taxi from the airport to the city of Alexandroupolis is about 10€ (fare on the counter + 3euros)
  • The docks were the ferry leaves from is quite easy to find (close to the Faros)
  • Bring hiking shoes and swimwear
