TRAVEL INFORMATION
NNSP'94 will be held at the Porto Hydra Hotel. The Porto Hydra Hotel is
located in the eastern Peloponnese, opposite the island of Hydra and
near famous archaeological sites (ancient theater of Epidaurus, Mycenae,
Tiryns). A one-page map is provided. The exact hotel address is:
Hotel Porto Hydra
Plepi Ermionidos
Greece
Tel: 30 - 754 - 41112, 41270-4
FAX: 30 - 754 - 41295
Possible ways to get to Porto Hydra Hotel are:
By car: Follow the route Athens - Korinthos - Epidaurus - Kranidi -
- Ermioni - Porto Hydra. This distance is 195 km and it will take you
approximately 2.5 hours.
By ship: Take a taxi from the airport to the port of Passalimani
(less than 2000 drachmas cost). There is a ship leaving every morning
to Ermioni. You do not need to make reservations. The trip is four hours
and 15 minutes long. For time schedules call 30-1-4511311. From Ermioni
a hotel bus will take you to Porto Hydra.
By Hydrofoil Boats: Take a taxi from the airport to the port of ZEA
(less than 2000 drachmas cost). There are "flying dolphins"
(hydrofoil boats) going to Ermioni. You need to buy the tickets in advance
(from a travel agent) because at the time you would get to the port
they may be sold out. The trip is two hours long. For time schedules
call 30-1-4280001. From Ermioni a hotel bus will take you to Porto Hydra.
Best way: We will rent a bus (or buses) to take you from the Eastern Airport
of Athens (this is the airport where most of the international flights arrive)
to the Porto Hydra Hotel. The buses will leave at 4:00 pm on the 5th of
September. To reserve seats on the bus, please check the appropriate box
and specify the number of reserved seats you want in the Registration Form.
