  • Organized trips
We plan to organize various excursions during the 9-10 of October weekend:

  - Knossos + Archeological Museum (both days - depending on the demand)
  - The small island of Spinalonga (both days - depending on the demand)
  - Hiking to "Kritsa gorge" - Saturday 9/10
  - visit to: Lato, Kera byzantine church, and "katharo plateau" for a local dinner - Sunday 10/10

The price for each excursion will depend on the participants number. For that reason, it would help to know in advance how many people would like to participate to any of these excursions, and when. Please send us an e-mail (accreting@physics.uoc.gr)    with the following subject "SOCIAL EVENTS", and specify to which excursion you would like to participate and in which of the two proposed dates (10 or 11 of October): e.g. "Knossos +Archeological museum, 10th of October"
