The Workshop will take place in the Conference & Cultural Center of the University of Patras within the University Campus (in the outskirts of the city). The Welcome Reception on Sunday 15/9 afternoon will take place on the same location. From the hotels in the city center it is a distance of about 8-10 km by car, taxi or bus. From the hotels on the beach it is nearer.

Taxis are relatively cheap in Greece. You can ask directly from your hotel to call a taxi for you, but the price will be a bit higher. It is better if you look for a nearby taxi station. There are plenty of taxis around and they stop even you raise your hand. You will be surprised that most of the taxi drivers speak English. Even for a trip to the nearby beaches in Rio a taxi is not so expensive (about 10-12 euros).
Other means of transportation (public bus or local suburban train) are not recommended due to their inconsistent (at times) time schedule, but in case you really want to take the bus from the city center, the Routes are 601,604,605 (towards the University) and 609 (towards the city Center).
