AREADNE 2012 Research in Encoding And Decoding of Neural Ensembles Nomikos Conference Centre Santorini, Greece 21-24 June 2012

The Nomikos Centre is located in the town of Fira, approximately a 10 minute walk from the center of town, and about the same distance from Firostefani. While there is a drivable approach to the Centre, this is not the case for many of the hotels, especially ones on the caldera face. The network of proper roads in the towns is very limited, and most communication is along footpaths. The neighboring towns of Fira and Firostefani are no longer distinct so it is difficult at times to tell which you are in (and nothing about the conference depends on it). While it is possible to stay in the towns of Oia or Kamares, that would require driving some distance to and from the conference center each day. Instead we recommend that attendees stay in Fira or Firostefani.

If you have difficulty walking along steep paths, or require wheelchair access, please be sure to inquire about hotel accessibility as you make your reservations. Please be sure to mention this to us via email at info@areadne.org early on, and when registering for the conference.

The list of hotels below is not exhaustive, but each has been visited by our local organizers to verify that location and quality is appropriate for the conference. These hotels are all walking distance (5 to 15 minutes) from the Nomikos Conference Centre. When making reservations, please mention the AREADNE CONFERENCE. You will likely have to contact the hotel directly, rather than going through a travel agency, to get the conference discount; every hotel reception desk will have someone who speaks English. Also, we recommend inquiring if better prices are available. All prices below are in euros (EUR). Because the hotel industry is so competitive in Santorini, it is entirely possible you can find much better rates elsewhere.

The major determining factor in price on hotels in Santorini is proximity to the caldera face. Hotels will subtly distinguish between a sea view that faces away from the caldera toward the outer Aegean versus a caldera view that faces directly into the caldera.

PLEASE NOTE THAT SOME OF THE RATES BELOW ARE FROM 2010 OR 2011 AND THAT AN ADJUSTMENT IS ANTICIAPTED FOR 2012.
