Location
The NANOMEDICINE Conference will be held in Chalkidiki, Greece. Chalkidiki is a
three-pronged peninsula, located in Northern Greece, roughly in the center of Macedonia.
To the North it shares borders with the prefecture of Thessaloniki.( Click here to view map of Chalkidiki )
To the South, East and West Chalkidiki juts into theAegean Sea. Due to the area's
geomorphology, Chalkidiki has the longest stretch of coastline in mainland Greece,
estimated to be more than 500 km of sandy beaches and attractive bays. To the north
of the coastal region the country becomes mountainous.
The whole region is heavily
wooded with pines and olive trees, while inland there are vineyards and fertile
farmlands. The climate in Chalkidiki is generally mild with limited rainfall whilst
sunshine and warm summers are well known. It enjoys over 300 days of sunshine on
average annually.
Chalkidiki can be easily accessed by car. It is very close to Thessaloniki and Makedonia
airport.
