GETTING TO KAVALA

Kavala is located on the north coast of Greece (see map). Its international airport, Alexander the Great (KVA), can be reached either through several direct flights from European cities or through a connecting one from Athens. Once you arrive you can get to the city center through taxi. It charges a set price of 38€ and the ride to the hotel takes 35 minutes. The cost can be split when up to 4 passengers travel together. An alternative way to reach Kavala is to get to Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece, whose airport (SKG) receives much more international flights than Kavala. From the airport you can take a municipal bus to transfer to the central bus station (located in the opposite side of the town) in order to catch one of the frequent daily bus rides to Kavala. The trip takes about two hours.


THE HOTEL

Accommodations will be provided and lectures will take place at hotel Oceanis which receives high marks and excellent reviews in several travel related websites. Oceanis Hotel is perfectly located for exploring Kavala and the surrounding areas, just 100 meters away from the central bus station and a 10-minute walk from the Old Town. The hotel has a roof garden which offers a spectacular view, especially at night, of the Old Town and the castle.
