__ I do not require hotel accommodation.

Please note that hotel accommodation in Crete in the summer is in very high demand. For this reason, the hotels being used for the conference may be unable to guarantee room availability after March 15. Requests for extra nights of hotel accommodation should be made at the time of registration, and will be satisfied as far as possible. Note that rates at some hotels will increase by 10-20% after the night of July 1, due to the shift to hotel peak season. Note also that participants who request a single room, but are ultimately booked into a double room (because of the limited number of single rooms available), may have to pay an additional amount per night. Payment can be refunded in full (except for bank costs) if hotel reservation is cancelled before April 1. Any cancellations or changes in hotel reservations should be sent by e-mail to creta-connection@ret.forthnet.gr or fax +30 831 25663.

DETAILED INFORMATION ON OPTIONAL EXCURSIONS OFFERED ON REGISTRATION FORM

The following optional excursions will be offered, if requested by a minimum of 35 people.

Excursion 1 – Friday, June 30 Phaestos – Gortys – Matala

Departure in the morning from the hotel to the southern coast of Crete. First stop at Gortys, one of the most important Minoan cities, and later capital of the Roman province of Crete and Cyrenaica. The most distinctive monuments are the Praetorium (2nd century A.D.), residence of the Roman governor of the province and the Nymphaion (2nd century A.D.), where the Nymphs were worshipped; the temple of Pythian Apollo; the sanctuary of the Egyptian divinities; and the Odeon, where the famous inscription with the laws of Gortyn was found. Plato spoke with admiration of these laws, which were written in a Doric dialect and date from the 6th century B.C. Second stop at Phaestos, the second most important palace-city of Minoan Crete (after Knossos). The residence of the mythical Radamanthes, the palace was also the nucleus of a settlement inhabited since the Neolithic age. The layout of the palace is similar to that of Knossos, but on a smaller scale. The famous disk of Phaestos, with its hieroglyphic inscriptions, is probably the most significant find. Third stop in the village of Matala, famous since the 1970s for its unusual caves. There will be time here for lunch and a swim in the Libyan Sea. On the return trip, a final stop in the village of Spili, famous for its Venetian lion fountains. Afternoon arrival back at the hotel. Price of the excursion includes transportation and tour guide. Entrance fees of approximately 2.000 drachmas and the cost of lunch are not included.

Excursion 2 – Sunday, July 2 Arkadi Monastery – Eleftherna – Margarites

Afternoon departure (around 16:00) from hotel with the first stop at the historically important monastery of Arkadi, built in the 16^th century in a beautiful natural setting. It is linked with significant events in Crete’s struggle against Turkish domination. The second stop is in the colorful village of Margarites with its traditional ceramic pottery workshops. On the return trip, the final stop is at the recently excavated site at Eleftherna, which has uncovered important monuments from a Greco-Roman city. Arrival back at the hotel around 20:00. Price of the excursion includes transportation and tour guide. Entrance fee of approximately 500 drachmas not included.

Excursion 3 – Monday, July 3 Knossos – Museum – Heraklion

Morning departure from the hotel along the northern coast to Knossos, the most important palace-city of Minoan Crete. Inhabited since the Neolithic era. The first palace of Knossos was built around 1900 B.C. The ruins include the palace of King Minos, the homes of the officials and priests who surrounded him (Little Palace, Caravanserai, House of the Frescoes, etc.), the homes of ordinary people and the cemetery. This multistoried construction covered an area of 22.000 sq. m. and, in addition to the royal quarters, also contained places of worship, treasuries, workshops and storerooms. Second stop at the Archaeological Museum in Heraklion, one of the most important museums in Greece. On exhibit here are extensive finds from the Minoan era. Pottery, stone carvings, sealstones, statuettes, gold, metalwork, the marvelous frescoes from the Royal and Little Palaces and villas of the wealthy, and finally, the unique painted limestone sarcophagus from the Agia Trias. Following the museum, free time for lunch and shopping in the city of Heraklion, with afternoon return to the hotel. Price of excursion includes transportation and tour guide. Entrance fees of approximately 3.000 drachmas and the cost of lunch are not included.

Excursion 4 – Monday, July 3 Samaria Gorge (long way)

Departure at 6:30 from the hotel along the northern cost to Chania , then to the heart of the White Mountains to the Omalos Plateau for breakfast, and then entrance to the Samaria Gorge, the longest gorge in Europe (about18 kilometres) and well-known for its awesome beauty. The gorge is cut by a stream and at some points the passage is just 3 meters wide and at times the steep sides rise to a height of 600 meters. Hikers exit the gorge at the Libyan Sea where there is time for a swim and/or meal at Agia Roumeli. Departure is by ferry-boat from Agia Roumeli to Chora Sfakion and then bus to Rethymnon with arrival about 20:00. Note: Anyone taking this excursion must be in good physical condition and with no serious health problems. Sturdy hiking shoes or boots are a must as well as a hat for sun protection. Price of excursion includes round trip bus transportation, and a tour guide. Entrance fee and boat fare (approximately 2.700 drachmas) and meals not included.
