Accommodation

Academy Accommodation

Most of us stay at the Orthodox Academy of Crete.  The location is superb. Join us for an early morning run or dip in the sea.

The Academy rooms are functional, but not luxurious. Facilities for kids are limited. But there is the sea across the road to play and swim in. There are also plenty of great hotels close by.

Please note that you can only stay in the academy for the duration of the unconference. Make other accommodation arrangements if you wish to stay more. Most of us will be checking out on the Friday.

What will the OAC cost you?

We have put together three packages for you to choose from (Sunday afternoon until Friday lunch):

  1. Conference without accommodation at OAC 300€

Other hotels close to the event

If you choose not to stay at the OAC, Booking.com and AirBnB have a large selection of suitable accommodation in the area, depending on your budget and preferences. Popular options amongst JCretans is Mrs Chryssana Beach Hotel and the Avra.

Note that it will be hot in July and walking might be a tad sweaty.  Best to either book very close to the Orthodox Academy or to also get a rental car.
