C.The visit to Greece is a challenge. We recommend the following:
In October and especially in the congress period the weather is hot and people enjoy the sun and the sea. You can stay more days at the Venue (before or after the conference) with the same hotel prices.
You can also stay in Athens and Thessaloniki in order to visit all the amazing places these cities offer. Especially, your visit to Thessaloniki can be combined with a trip to Vergina which is famous for the findings from the tombs of the Macedonian dynasty, including Philip the second, father of Alexander the Great.
