Welcome Reception

Welcome reception will be held on a boat (BORAHAN) ,Sunday Evening (16 July ) from 19:30 to 21:30. Please meet at Akyaka Quay not later than 19:25 . We will sail while in sunset to the end of Cinar beach following the northen cost of Gokova bay . We expect the reception will last one and half hour, i.e. we will be back at the quay around 21:30 .

Daily Routine

We expect that many of us would be staying in Akyaka . Except for the first day, we plan a shifted schedule throughout the symposium, i.e. we plan to start technical sessions at 10:00 in the morning at Mugla University( buses will depart at 9:30 ) and finish the session at 18:30 in the evening. So we would have a total of 4 sessions as usual. This would give us an opportunity to enjoy Akyaka as a cittaslow town.

Thursday Evening Program & Symposium Dinner ( tentative)

On the fourth day of the symposium, i.e. Thursday, we plan to have three sessions ( rather than the usual four ) and finish the technical sessions at around 16:45. After a tea break, the buses will depart for Dalyan. . We plan to take a boat tour of Dalyan river up to Iztuzu beach (turtles’ breeding ground) or if you prefer we may arrange for you a visit to Kaunos Antique City nearby.

Symposium Dinner will take place at Alegria Restaurant, Dalyan at the shore of the river. We plan to start the dinner at 8:00 pm .The restaurant faces Lycian Rock Tombs on the other side of the river illuminated during the night. We plan to have the dinner in open air which would give us a chance to enjoy the scenery. We plan to return to Akyaka- Mugla not later than 24:00.
