SOCIAL PROGRAM
Reception
The reception (welcome party) will take place, on Tuesday September 5, 2006 at 19:00.
All registered persons (participants and accompanying members) are cordially invited.
Excursion
An excursion to the most important archeological places and wine tasting to the
traditional wineries of Santorini will be arranged if there is an adequate number of
participants.
Official Dinner
The official dinner of the Workshop will take place on Friday September 8, 2006 at 21:30
A supplement of 30 EU is required.
Entertainment
A swimming pool facility will be available to all participants and accompanying
members during the Workshop. Nice beaches for swimming are also available in 15-20
minutes driving distance (by bus or car).
GENERAL REMARKS
Refreshments
During the coffee breaks, coffee and juices will be provided free to all participants.
Climate
At the beginning of September the weather in Greece is usually hot and dry. The average
0
temperatures lie between 28-33 C, but during night in the islands, it becomes
considerably cooler and pleasant. All rooms and the lecture room are air-conditioned.
Acknowledgements
The Organizers wish to express their most cordial thanks to Mrs. V. Zatta for her good
will and assistance, as well as to the graduate students of IMS.
