Accommodation:
Special rates have been arranged by CyNet with The Landmark Nicosia (ex-Hilton Cyprus - about 5 kms from the venue).
If you wish to stay here you must make your reservation with Ms Sofi Anagnostopoulou (sanagnostopoulou@thelandmarknicosia.com) and note that you are attending the SIG-Marcomms Meeting.
Other suggestions are
Semeli Hotel (very close to The Landmark Nicosia)
Classic Hotel (in the old town but further away from the venue)
UC Hall Residence (or those who want to be right next to the venue - but it's rather far from the city centre.)
Transport
Where to land: We suggest landing at Larnaca airport, which is much closer to Nicosia than the Pafos.
Airport to Nicosia: Kapnos Airport Shuttle or you can arrange for a taxi with Mr. Andreas ++357 99 689020 / antreastaxi@cytanet.com.cy (about 50 euro per ride).
City centre to venue: The best way to get around is by taxi. Bus service is rather limited.
