Dear colleagues,
The hotel lying near the building of the Syllogos Ellinon Archaiologon was unfortunenately fully booked. But there was availability at another one, not far away (about 10-15 minutes by foot, and
with metro connection).
So I have booked rooms for all the participants, coming the Athens meeting, at the
King Jason Hotel, Kolonou str. 26, 10437 Athens, tel. 00302105234721. You can see it on the web:
www.douros-hotels.com. Click on
King Jason Hotel.
It is a three stars hotel.
The bookings are for
- Kenneth Aitchinson 15 May (in) - 19 May (out)
- Jan Frolik 16 May (in) - 19 May (out)
- Efthymia Alfa 16 May (in) - 19 May (out)
- Rachel Edwards 16 May (in) - 19 May (out)
- Vesna
Pintaric 16 May (in) - 19 May (out)
- Marc Lodewijckx 16 May (in) - 19 May (out)
- Connor McDermott 16 May (in) - 18 May (out)
- Carla Nuebold 16 May (in) - 20 May (out)
- Dirk Krausse 16 May (in) - 20 May (out)
There are two main ways to reach the hotel coming from the "El.Venizelos" Athens International Airport.
1.
You can take the suburban railway from the Airport to the Larissa
Station of the National Railway (cost 6 euros). Just outside it is the
homonymous Metro Station of the metro line 2 Aghios Antonios - Aghios Dimitrios. You take the metro
in the direction Aghios Dimitrios and go out at the next station Metaxourghio (cost 0,80 euros). Choose the Karaiskaki sq. exit and after the staircase go straight on to the first street (Achilleos str.) , turn to it and the first street you meet is the Kolonou str.. Turn
to the left, going across the street, and go to the number 26 of the
Kolonou str., just a few minutes walk (about 150m), where the hotel is.
2.
You can take the Metro Line 3 from the Airport to the Syntagma sq.
metro station, where you have to change to metro line 2, direction
Aghios Antonios (cost 6 euros). At the Metaxourghio metro station you
go out, and after as above.
From the Hotel King Jason to the SEA building you can go either by metro or by foot.
By
metro you can take from the Metaxourghio Station the line 2 in the
direction Aghios Dimitrios. At the next station (Omonia) you change to
the line 1 (Piraeus-Kifissia) in the direction Piraeus. You go out at
the Thissio station (cost 0,80 euros). Just outside the station exit go
to the left and in the first corner turn to the left. This is Ermou
str. You will see the SEA building on the right side (Nr 134-136), the
last building before the Keramikos Archaeological Site.
By foot you can walk on the Kolonou str. till the Pireos str. (on the shields it is renamed Panagi Tsaldari str.). Turn to the right and after three corners turn to the left
( Aghion Asomaton str.). At the end of it is the Aghion Asomaton sq.,
with the byzantine church of the Aghioi Asomatoi. From the square turn
to the right, on the Ermou str. and you will see the SEA building in
30 m distance.
The single tickets in the urban area of Athens cost 0,50 euros (buses), 0,60 euros
(tram), 0,70 euros (metro line 1 only), 0,80 euros (metro line 2 , 3 and if you are using metro line 1 and metro line 2 and/or 3).
It exists also a single ticket for unlimited changes in all the network (except Airport lines) within 1.30' hours, which cost 1 euro. The 24-hours ticket (from the time of its validation) costs 3 euros and the 7 days ticket (from the time of its validation) costs 10 euros, both for unlimited travels within the urban area.
I am at your disposal for any additional information.
Best wishes
