I am flying to HER airport. How do I get to Aquila Rithymna Beach hotel?
There is no official airport transfer planned, so participants have to make their own way from the airport to the venue.
Traditionally, though, our participants are great at self-organization, so car-sharing (whether rental or taxi) has been pretty typical in previous years. We expect something similar will also happen this year. For this, we recommend joining the SoCraTes Crete Discord, where you can find a #carsharing channel.

See above.
I am traveling with kids. Is the accommodation at Aquila Rithymna Beach hotel suitable for us?
Our goal for SoCraTes Crete is to be a family-friendly event. This means that for families with children, spacier rooms that feature 3 or 4 beds will be first reserved.
Our venue is really suitable for kids with lots of activities indoors and outdoors, including 5 swimming pools and a location right on the beach (assuming the weather is good enough, of course).
Kids are great at self-organising stuff and they are absolutely free to do that as well!
