While at the College reunion in June 2022 the idea of Greece as out next biannual meeting was raised. Unfortunately we were unable to have the last one that that was organised for western Canada but Antony and Michael have come forward an during the early weeks of 2023 have proposed some firm dates
PAROS 25-26-27 September : ATHENS 28-29-30 September
“We have fixed dates for middle-week as this gives better availability for travel, hotels and venue arrangements. We will try to incorporate as much flex for early and late arrivals. We have looked at accommodation recommendations, and while this is totally up to each and everyone to select, we have focused on central locations close to planned activities and allowing for easy walk-to informal small group meet-ups.”

The room rates shown are indicative only and all of the accommodation should show on booking.com or other booking platforms. There are of course many many other accommodation options from airbnb to smaller Boutique style hotels.
Our intention was to indicate some options and recommended location area.
We strongly suggest early booking of hotels so as to fix availability and prices. Many of the bookings are still no charge for cancellations.
TIP: Aegean/Olympic airline just announced a discount airfare sale
We continue to work on venues, sightseeing, activity arrangements and options and will try to finalize these within next 4-6 weeks. Since interest expressions total 50+ it would help with another round of messages to ensure we are really looking at this group size.
