HOW TO GET THERE
- From Chania's Airport [link]
Chania's airport is approx. 39km east of from Kolympari, approximately 30 minutes by
car. The best choice is to take a taxi, which will cost approximately 30
euros. For those arriving at Chania Airport, there will be a bus that will
take you directly to the Summer School. The schedule of these buses will be
posted later on, based on the arrival times of the participants. For those
willing to rent a car, there are car rental services at Chania's airport.
- From Chania by Bus
The cheapest (but inconvenient) possibility is to take the bus from the
airport to the city of Chania and then take the bus to Kolymbari. This
will bring you about 1km before the location of the OAC.
