How to get there
How to get There
Directions of how to get to the location of the event:
🚗 By Car:
🗺️ Directions:
🚇 By Metro:
Catch the blue line to Katehaki stop (30’ walk from Campus). From there, you can hop on bus lines 242, which takes you directly into the Campus, or 140, which leaves you outside the Campus. Alternatively, you can also take the same METRO line to the Evaggelismos stop and catch bus line 608 until the 8th stop Zografou.
🚌 By Bus:
- Line 608: Galatsi – Akademia – Necr. Zografou. Get off at the 8th stop of Zografou and walk to the Zografou Gate (9 Iroon Polytehniou).
- Line 230: Acropolis – Zografou. Same as above, get off at the 8th stop and walk to the Zografou Gate (9 Iroon Polytehniou)..
- Line 242: Katehaki Metro Station – NTUA Zografou Campus (Circular). The 242 bus line takes a circular route around the campus periphery, and the library is located at the center of the campus.
- Line 140: Polygon – Glyfada. This bus starts at Evelpidon Courthouses and stops at the “lower” gate, near the intersection of Katehaki and Kokkinopoulou streets.
To find a detailed map and directions to the Multimedia Amphitheatre (basement of the NTUA Central Library): https://shorturl.at/chyDF
The route from the Katehaki entrance to the conference hall: https://shorturl.at/bxFOZ
From the Katehaki Gate, proceed straight ahead. When you reach the shed turn right into the downhill road that leads to an underground parking lot. Once the downhill is over, on your righthand side is the entrance to the library, where the hall is located.
Thank you for your interest in attending this training event and we are looking forward to welcoming you there.
