Daily Routine
Except for the first day, we adopted a shifted schedule throughout the symposium, i.e. we start technical sessions at 10:00 in the morning at Mugla University( buses departing at 9:30 from Akyaka) and finishing the session at 18:30 in the evening. There was a total of 4 sessions per day as usual. This schedule was adopted to give the participants an opportubnity to enjoy Akyaka early in the morning.
Thursday Evening Program & Symposium Dinner
On the fourth day of the symposium, i.e. Thursday, we had three sessions ( rather than the usual four ) and finish the technical sessions at 16:45. After a tea break, the buses departed for Dalyan. Upon arrival we took a boat tour of Dalyan river up to Iztuzu beach (turtles’ breeding ground) and returned directly to Alegria Restaurant .
