Venue
Crete, the largest of the Greek islands, is rich in ancient and modern Mediterranean cultures. Apart from the archaeological sites, the museums, and the spectacular scenery, it is an island with a reputation for hospitality and good food.
Rethymno is a city on the north coast Rethymno attributed as the ”City of Arts and Letters”. In the old town, the Venetian Harbor is filled with fishing boats and lined with tavernas. Rethymno Lighthouse was built in the 1830s. West, the hilltop Fortezza is a star-shaped, 16th-century citadel. The Historical and Folklore Museum preserves local crafts like textiles and ceramics. Long, sandy Rethymno Beach stretches to the east. For detailed information on the cultural and social life Rethymnon – including the sights, events, accommodation and maps – as well as the services offered by the local authorities, see the Municipality site: Rethymnon Municipality
The conference will take place at the University of Crete / Gallos Campus. It is located just outside Rethymno city center in Gallos village. The University is served by regular bus service to the city center.
Rethymno is located mid-way between Herakleion and Chania, so both airports and ports are a choice to visit Rethymno (70km each way).
