TRAVEL TO GREECE FROM UK
There are no direct flights to Alonissos
- only to neighbouring island Skiathos. Skiathos:
There are many direct flights to Skiathos.
Charter/holiday flights operate from Gatwick,
Manchester and many regional airports. However
they only travel on weekdays. So in order
not to miss any of the course (if you are
only staying one week) you need to find a
flight on a Monday or Tuesday or Sunday evening.
If you travel for a two week period there
is no problem as you can fit the course week
in the middle. Or: Athens: At week-ends you
can get charters or scheduled flights to
Athens and then either an internal domestic
flight (Olympic) to Skiathos ( this departs
from the same airport and can be booked by
your travel or flight agent from the UK)
or, via a taxi from the airport, take an
air-conditioned coach from Alkyon Travel
Office, Academia 97, central Athens - to
Ag. Konstantinos ( a port on the mainland
east coast - this takes about 2 hrs) and
