Hello dear partners!
We are ready to confirm the dates of the meeting in Athens:
arrival : Thursday 27 January
departure: Wednesday 2 February
and to recommend a hotel for your staying: http://www.president.gr/
Its location is very convenient, because it is on Kifisias avenue, a street leading to the north suburbs of Athens, where Marousi is, and also it is very near to the two metro stations from where you will have easy access to the historical centre of the city (sightseeing places, old town etc.)
67 euros for a single room
72 euros for a double room
100 euros for a triple room.
The prices are per room, per night and include VAT and breakfast.
Doing a research about the hotel prices in Athens, this was the best value for money we could find.
Lots of Greetings,
Alexandra
ReplyDeletewe will be three teachers and three pupils:
two ladies (they will stay in a double room) and me as teachers
two girls and a boy as pupils (if it is possible, for the two girls it would be better girls as hosting people)
Even if I think 67 euros for a single room is really expensive I'm not going to stay in an other hotel. So That hotel is OK for us, if there is not other choices.
In a few days I'll send you the names...
Bruno, thank you for the info you sent us.
ReplyDeleteWe have started to arrange the hosting of the pupils and we hope everything will be fine although we are a small school. We have already the number and sexes of the pupils coming from Spain and Romania too. We will try so that the Ιtalian girls will be hosted by girls as you asked us.
About the hotel don’t forget that Athens is one of the most touristic cities and generally talking it is difficult to find a good hotel which is not far from the historic centre and at the same time not far away from Marousi (where our school is). We are sure that after staying there, you will be satisfied with "the value for money" of the hotel we recommend.....
Hello dear partners,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the details you've sent us about the teachers and pupils travelling to Greece.
Please, the partners who haven't sent us yet the names of the travelling pupils or teachers, they should do it the soonest possible.We need the names to arrange free admissions in the museums and places of interest and this is quite a bureaucracy.
We'll do our best to accommodate the kids and as soon as we arrange things we will inform you.
We just want to emphasize some issues concerning the hosting of the pupils in Athens:
Our pupils who participate in the Comenius are very young, most of them are around 15 years old. The oldest were the ones who travelled to Spain.Their daily life is divided between going to school and being with their families.
The majority of our pupils participating in the project are boys while at the same time we will receive many girls in the Athens meeting, specifically 13 girls and only 4 boys.
In case the girls are hosted by boys,we are sure there won't be any problems since we will have ensured that there is enough space at the hosting home and a separate bedroom for them so as not to feel uncomfortable at all.
Taner, about the extra pupils from your school that might join you at their own expense. We would be more than happy to take care of them but unfortunately we have too much work to do, not only for the project but also to organize the Comenius meeting here.
We have already arranged some sightseeing activities for the Comenius meeting but the
number has to be specific because they include guided tours for less than 50 participants and other relevant things like buses, entrance to museums etc.
That's all for the time being.
Lots of greetings,
The Greek Comenius team
