The Venue

The 3-day meeting to take place at Grecian Bay Hotel in Ayia Napa, Cyprus, from the 3rd to the 5th of April 2019.

How to reach Cyprus:

Cyprus is an island nation situated in the Eastern Mediterrenean, with a total population of around 1.2 million. It is well connected to most major European cities. The Republic of Cyprus operates two airports, in Larnaca (south-east) and Paphos (south-west), and these are the only two recognized points of entry. For the meeting it will be much easier to arrive through Larnaca Airport, which is the closest to Ayia Napa (about 50 mins). Ayia Napa is located in the Famagusta (or Ammochostos in greek) region (east).

How to reach Ayia Napa from Larnaca Airport:

• By Kapnos Airport Shuttle

This is the most direct way to reach Ayia Napa. The shuttle leaves from right outside the airport terminal and arrives in Ayia Napa after 60 mins, without intermediate stops. Tickets (8.00 EUR per route) can be purchased from the Kapnos office at the far left end of the terminal, as you come out of the Arrivals. The office will provide directions to the shuttle. In Ayia Napa, get off at Archbishop Makarios III stop, close to Ayia Napa Square (10 mins from venue). A return route, from Ayia Napa to Larnaca Airport is also available. There’s only 4 shuttles per day in each direction, so please plan accordingly. For updated scheduals (these change seasonally) see:
