LPAR-26: THE 26TH CONFERENCE ON LOGIC FOR PROGRAMMING, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, AND REASONING
Accommodation, Travel, Local Information

Travel and Entry

  • Ask your favourite LLM to "Give me an itinerary to get from place to Spetses Island, Greece, on date, and return on date."
  • Fly into Athens' Eleftherios Venizelos airport.
  • Take the blue line 3 metro from the airport to Piraeus (€9 - buy the ticket at the airport). It takes an hour, and runs about every 40 mins, i.e., in the worst case you'll take 1:40 hours to get to the port. See the details online.
  • When you get to Piraeus the port is 5 mins walk, but ... finding your ferry in the port might take a while - I took 20 mins this afternoon. You need to know your gate number, and try follow the signs. If you ask people, they will point you along.
  • Take a ferry to Spetses Island (FerryHopper is a good place to make bookings)
  • Take a carriage or walk to the Anargyrios and Korgialenios School of Spetses (AKSS). There is no street address. The AKSS is itself a well-known landmark that defines the location. It is rather like saying "the Eiffel Tower" in Paris or "the Acropolis" in Athens -  everyone on the island knows where it is. So does Google Maps.
  • Walking is fine, through the back alleys or along the water front. Google Maps knows the way. The roads are rough, so stand-up walk along suitcases with small wheels will struggle.
  • When you arrive, walk up the path to the building that has a cafe and outdoor seating. In the main door to the right is the office, or just ask in the cafe (the receptionist also works in the cafe).

Accomodation

  • Accommodation will be offered in buildings B, C, and D of the AKSS for €90 per person per night, including breakfast and lunch. Double rooms are available, but the cost stays the same ... €90 per person per night (no discount for a double room). Each room has a private bathroom, and wifi. Here are some pictures of the rooms: 
  • Rooms-1 Rooms-2 Rooms-3
  • There are also hotels nearby. You can buy lunch at the AKSS if you want to eat with the people living at AKSS, for €20 per person per lunch. Lunches must be ordered and paid for by 15th October.
  • Booking and Paying for Accommodation (and lunches if you are staying elsewhere and want to eat with people staying at AKSS): Fill in this form, send money as instructed on the form, and email PDF confirmation as instructed on the form.
  • Check-in is from 14:00. Head to the Magus Café in the main building - Building A. If you arrive late and the café is closed, the night receptionist will be there and available to check you in. If you arrive early and a room has been cleaned and is ready, you are welcome to check in before 14:00.
  • Check-out is by 11:00. A late check-out can be arranged at no extra cost, provided that no other guest is due to arrive in the same room.
