Other information concerning how to reach Chania and MAICH, the scientific program and general tourist information will appear in the web page early in 2001 and will be notified to participants by e-mail. If you wish to reserve early your travel flights we suggest the following:

Track 1: Fly to Athens and then use a corresponding flight to Chania with either Olympic Airways, Aegean Airlines or Cronus Airlines. We are trying to get special SMYTE offers from one of these air-carriers.
Track 2: Fly to Chania directly using charter flights. However this can only be done from a few European cities
Track 3: Fly directly to Heraklion (largest city of Crete with several flights from all major European Airportrs). Heraklion is located 150 km from Chania. Buses run this distance every hour and take 2 h 30 min. Of course, you can take advantage and spend a day in Heraklion to visit Knossos (6 km from Heraklion), the most important city of the Minoan Civilization, and the archaeological museum of Heraklion.

Dear SMYTE participants:

We are trying to have somebody from the organizing committee to the airport.

BUT if this proves impossible due to many different arrivals just take a taxi to reach M.A.I.CH (Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of CHania). M.A.I.CH is pronounced and known to taxi drivers as MAIH.

For people arriving on the 13^th we have arranged to spend the night to M.A.I.CH.

In case of any problem please call us at the mobiles

0974799929 (George)

0937156454 (Vicky)

or

call M.A.I.CH: 81151

Telephone cards are sold in any kiosk and at the airport.
