Dear Colleagues,

Thank you for your huge interest in our AGRIBALKAN Congress. I would like to give you a brief information about our event. 

We will organize our conference in Trakya University Balkan Congress Center. It is so close to Edirne bus station but it is a bit far away from the city center (6-7 km). There are always city public midi buses coming to Universite (calling fakülte).

When you come from Istanbul airport there is a direct bus from the airport under public transport areas. The company name is İstanbul Seyahat and is at the end of the right side about 150 - 200 m walking. You have to say the Edirne bus. There is generally normally no need to take a ticket before your flight arriving time is not clear.

There are hours.

08.30, 12:00, 14:30,  16:30,   18:30,   21:00,   23:59

However, you could also come from Istanbul Esenler bus station every hour by bus to Edirne, if you do not wait for airport buses or when you stay in Istanbul in previous days.

On the other hand, the updated program is announced at the web site. Free lunches will be available at lunch times consisting of special Turkish cuisine and Edirne local tastes.
