HOW TO BOOK YOUR FERRY TICKETS
The Institute of Accelerating Systems and Applications (IASA) would like to inform the participants of ITBS that it does not undertake arrangements or bookings for their travel to Milos island. Online reservations are available by some ferry companies (see below) or in the following websites:
We would also like to suggest that participants book two one-way tickets instead of one round ticket, as some ferry companies may treat both legs of the trip as a single ticket and charge extra for both in case of changes in either leg.
Note, that you need a credit card for online booking.
