Traveling to and in Crete
To Crete by plane
You should travel to Heraklion airport, from where we will provide a shuttle service to the conference center and back. There are two main carriers to Crete from Athens: Aegean Air and Olympic Airlines. In the summer there are also a number of international flights to Heraklion. If you require assistance please contact fomo2010

To Crete by boat
There are now three ferries going between Athens (Piraeus) and Heraklion: Minoan, Super fast and ANEK. Online booking of tickets is possible directly or via all ferries.
Around Crete
Transport to and from the airport is available. Please inform fomo2010matterwaveoptics.eu of your arrival times.
If you would like to spend some more time to travel around Crete, you can either take the buses, or rent a car. Special prices are available from here.
In Crete
Closer to the start of the conference we will post here the bus schedule to and from the airport as well as some useful tips about traveling on Crete.
