PPEU Athens 2013
Date and venue
The PPEU Conference of Athens will take place at PPGR's office, which is located at Vasilikis 6, (downtown) Athens (PC 10560), 1st floor, on the 2nd and 3rd of November, 2013.
The office can easily sit 20 participants. There are some alternatives in case that more people than that actually arrive.
It is equipped with a high-speed internet connection, coffee machines, a fridge, some computers, and other equipment for all our piratey needs.
How to get to Athens
By Train
There is currently no international passenger connection to/from Greece, sadly enough. However, domestic Intercity trains connect many major Greek cities, so you could combine the train with other means of transport. You can check the schedule and prices here.
(pro tip: There are some discount tickets for Athens-Thessaloniki and vice versa, each month, that become available around the 25th of the previous month. So keep your eyes open if you intend to use this route.)
By Bus
There are several international bus connections from several European countries to either Athens or Thessaloniki. You can find more details here.
If there's a connection only to Thessaloniki, you can come to Athens from there either by bus(Athens-Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki-Athens) or by train (see above). In any case, local pirates from Thessaloniki will be more than willing to help you finding your way around.
By Plane
By far the easiest way to come, is flying to Athens International Airport (ATH). From there, there are several ways (metro, railway, bus) to get to downtown Athens.
By Car
Getting around while in Athens
Metro
By far the easiest way to get around in Athens is by the metro. The conference venue is located near Monastiraki Station (Μοναστηράκι) (blue and green line), basically a 5 minute walk from there (walking directions).
