The conference will be held at Hapimag Sea Garden Hotel, a resort about 20 km outside Bodrum. Bodrum is a lovely town on the shores of the Aegean Sea. It spreads over the ancient Halicarnassus, where its mouseleum was one of the seven w onders of the world. The town and its surroundings is rich with history and natural beauty. The modern Bodrum is a busting town with many cafes, restaurants, bars and beaches. To many it is everything and anything they want it to be: historic, interesting, relaxing, or rich.

An imposing Crusader Castle, built by the knights of Rhodes, overlooks the harbour and the international marina. The nearby peninsula is rich in history and has many hidden beaches and traditional small villages. Bodrum houses the impressive Museum of Underwater Archealogy.
