The workshop will take place at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the largest university in Greece. The campus is located in the heart of the city.
Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece and the capital of the greek region of Μακεδονία. The city is located 100km northeast of Mount Olympus and 130km northwest of Mount Athos. In proximity are several ancient sites, such as Vergina (Aigai) and Pella. In the nearby city of Naussa, one can visit the ruins of the ancient School of Aristotle.
The city itself has a large number of ancient Macedonian, Roman and Byzantine ruins, buildings and churches. Several museums cover the historical background, including the Archeological Museum and the Museum of Byzantine Culture. Further recommendations are the White Tower, the Aghios Dimitrios Catacombs, the Galerius palace ruins at Navarino square, the Jewish Museum, and the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle (all are in the city center), see also this guide.
Thessaloniki is served by its International Airport Makedonia (SKG), with connections to most major European airports and international hubs. The airport is located 15km from the city center and is connected with public transportation and taxi (see detailed information below).
The venue of the training school is the KEDEA Research Dissemination Center of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, see this map.
