THE LAVRION TECHNOLOGICAL CULTURAL PARK (LTCP)
The Lavrion Technological and Cultural Park (LTCP) was founded at the site of the Compagnie Francaise des Mines du Laurium in 1992, by the National Technical University of Athens, with the collaboration of local institutions, the people of Lavrion and the support of the Greek State and the European Union.
The buildings of the LTCP constitute a unique monument of industrial archaeology and architecture, due to their monumental scale and the fact that nearly all the facilities and most of their mechanical equipment have been preserved. For this reason, one part of its premises will house the European range Museum of Mining and Metallurgy – an initiative of the Greek State.

Tour to the temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio

An evening tour for all delegates has been scheduled for Friday 26 September 2008. We will visit the Temple of Poseidon on the Cape of Sounio.

Buses will depart from the Athens Hilton Hotel on at 17.45.

This is included in the registration fee.

The temple built in the 5th century BC was dedicated to Poseidon, the God of the Sea. In ancient times the temple was the last sign of civilization, the Athenian mariners saw as they sailed away and the first as they returned.

We will have the unique chance to marvel in the majestic white marble columns that compliment the deep blue of the Aegean Sea at the base of the cliff.
