VENUE
The Elysium Beach Resort is a five star deluxe hotel
with an Aveda Concept Spa, which offers leisure and business visitors
to Cyprus an entirely unique experience. The impressive development,
set adjacent to the ancient Tomb of Kings in Paphos, is a concept
unique to Cyprus.
The Elysium enjoys uninterrupted view of the Mediterranean
Sea and has been sensitively designed in palatial style primarily
influenced by the Byzantine era. A blend of local stone, marble and
timber, warm muted colors and decorative features such as mosaics,
arches and columns reflect the aims of the designers to create a sense
of space and tradition where guests can enjoy a relaxing and stimulating
holiday in a peaceful and secluded environment.
The Organizing Committee has reserved rooms at the Symposium venue,
which will be offered to the participants at special reduced rates
when booked via the Symposium Secretariat, Ortra Ltd.
