VENUE
ICIAP will take place in the old city center of Lecce at walking distance of hotels, workshops and main conference venues. The locations of the places will be shown in the following map( accommodations: tens of cheap B&B, hotels 4 and 5-stars with a large number of rooms) . Moreover, other accommodations will be available in a short range from the conference venue. The Salento region and Lecce are the furthermost strip of land leaning out, toward the Orient, “kissed” by two seas, the Ionian and the Adriatic. A rich land steeped in history and tradition stands testimony to its natural beauty and architecture. Lecce emerges from this enchanting scenario, with its Baroque, that seduce you with its stunning churches and antiques palaces.
Accessibility (airports, local transports)
Lecce is located 35Km far away from Brindisi Airport (the nearest one) and 160 Km from Bari airport. Many daily flights connect both airports with intercontinental hubs of Rome, Milan, London, Brussels, Munich, Zurich. In this way, they can be easily reached with two connections from every important airport in the world.
