• From Athens: Regular city transport options are available to Zografou; taxis are convenient from the city centre.
• By car: On-campus and nearby parking availability will be communicated with the final venue information.

Recommended Accommodation

Participants are responsible for arranging their own accommodation. Staying in Ilisia or Zografou is recommended for easiest access to the NTUA campus. Participants may also stay in Athens city centre and commute if preferred.

Where to stay

• Ilisia & Zografou: recommended for convenient access to campus, restaurants and local services.
• Near NTUA Zografou campus: limited nearby options may be available; early booking is advised.
• Athens city centre: wider hotel range and easier tourism access, with a longer daily commute.

A shortlist of suggested hotels and practical booking guidance, including any negotiated rates if applicable, will be announced on this page. Participants should also verify visa requirements and plan travel accordingly.
