The following information is intended to assist you in making any neccesary transportation arrangements for your participation in the conference and/or biblical pilgrimages before or after the conference. 

Transportation from Athens Airport to the conference center will be arranged for by AMG International and will cost $35.00 per person, round trip or $20 USD for those using only one way     General transportation from the airport will be provided by busses that can accommodate between 30-50 people including their luggage.

Buses on the days of arrival and departure will depart every, one to one and a half hours. All those who want to use the buses should meet our people in front of Kimbo café outside of Gate B at arrivals hall.

 

The cost will be higher if people come in and out at times that are not consistent with the beginning and ending of the conference

Therefore, we would be able to provide rides around the clock for individual arrive or depart during the conference.
