CHILD CARE

EARLI 2023 strongly believes in making the event available to everyone in the community, and as part of that effort, daycare is offered at a small cost to parents attending EARLI 2023.

We have partnered with the Social Cooperative Enterprise (SCE) EPTTA, an experienced and highly recommended professional daycare for children provider, who will be on-site on the conference floor keeping your children safe, entertained and happy. The children will be supervised by trained and skilled staff at all times.

ACCOMMODATION

Thessaloniki has a large number of 5* Hotels and a smaller number of 4* Hotels. However, prices are relatively low compared to most other European cities. The city’s 5* hotels offer exceptional hospitality and luxury facilities (such as outdoor swimming pools) at very reasonable prices. Therefore they make for an advantageous value-for-money choice. There is an abundance of 3* hotels in central spots that also serve for a quality stay at much lower rates. Additional units are available in pensions, bed & breakfast, short-let apartments (and Airbnb), youth and student hostels, and private rooms.

Many are centrally located and are either within walking distance or up to 4 km from the city center and the conference venues.
