Arrive in Athens by June 4th no later than 1 p.m. We will take an afternoon ferry to Andros THE SAME DAY on June 4th. Details on where we will meet, etc. will be sent to all registered participants. Contact me before you book airline tickets. If you are attending only the writing workshop you depart Andros hotel for Athens on June 16th.
If you are flying back to the U.S. most flights leave early in the morning and ferries from Andros will not get you to the airport in time so you will have to spend a night in Athens before you fly out. Please check departure dates and time.
