Conference Venue
The ADA8 2016 Summer School will take place in Chania, Greece. This ancient city is the second largest in Crete, and according to the legend it was created by the King Cydon, who was son of Hermes and Akakallis, the daughter of Minos and Pasiphae (who was the daughter of Helios, the Sun).
Chania enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate, and a pleasant weather is expected during the ADA8 2016 Summer School (15 to 25 degrees C).
The ADA8 2016 Summer School will take place at the impressive historic building of the Grand Arsenal, built by the Venetians in the 1600s just next to the old harbor at the center of the city of Chania. The building has been fully renovated and currently houses the Center of Mediterranean Architecture, including a modern amphitheater with all the required amenities, including wifi connection. The amphitheater is wheel chair accessible, as are all levels of the Center.
The venue also hosts dedicated areas for poster sessions, coffee breaks and a cafeteria.
