You will notice that the application for excursions is combined with the application for airport transfers and accommodation (Travel Arrangements service).

Due to high demand during the summer months (September – October are still summer months in Greece) it will be wise to book your excursion early in order to secure a place on your selected tour. While it is planned that all excursions will be available before, during, and after the Conference dates, it is emphasized that any tour may be cancelled on any of those dates, depending on the number of participating persons.

Nafpaktos and the surrounding areas in Aitoloakarnania as well as Patras offer many opportunities to enjoy your free time, before and after attending MOBIMEDIA07. For those who will decide to accompany a Conference delegate, a dream holiday plan is at hand! You can either choose to sign up for a tour, or spend your day leisurely swimming at one of the beautiful beaches in the suburbs of Nafpaktos and Rio. The tours listed on our web site may be booked through MeetingPlanner.gr before or during the Conference.
