    Transportation Information Map


    The EUCEET Conference 2011 takes place at the University of Patras Conference Center.
    You may choose to go ther by bus, by train, by car or by taxi.

    By bus
    The Number 6 bus for Rion, which leaves from the bus terminal that is located downtown, runs every ten to fifteen minutes and connects the University with the city. Since some buses go directly to the town of Rion, bypassing the campus, it is advisable to ask before boarding if the specific bus goes to Panepistimio (University). It usually has the word "ΠΑΝΕΠΙΣΤΗΜΙΟ" on the label next to the number 6. The ticket for this route costs 1.50 and tickets are sold in almost every kiosk. If you don' t manage to get a ticket on time, you can also buy a ticket from the bus driver with an extra charge of 0.50 €. When you get on the bus, you have to validate your ticket using the validation machine next to the bus driver.

    By car
    The University is about 8 km from the city of Patras. Coming from the centre of Patras, follow Korinthou Street to its end. Then, you should follow Panepistimiou Street and after the indoor athletic stadium "Dimitrios Tofalos" you turn on the right, following the signs.
