The tourism season at Lipari starts on Easter, so accommodation is made difficult by reservations by  tourist groups. 

Accommodation in 2- or 3- beds room:

The residence Baia Portinenti can accommodate the majority of AARCH people in 2- and 3- beds rooms, at the price per person of 35 and 30 Euro/day respectively (breakfast included). The same prices will be charged to all the stay in the case you arrive in Lipari before May 10^th or leave after May 14^th  (refer to AARCH meeting in your correspondence to the hotel).

To seize this opportunity you have to book NOW, because rooms can not be kept available much longer. I have been given the deadline of  January 15^th, 2006.   To make your reservation, fill the booking form and send it by e-mail to the Hotel and to Evdokia.

Have a look at the hotel: www.baiaportinenti.it

Accommodation in single room:

The prize will probably be around 60 Euro/day.  If your choice is for single room, send an e-mail to Evdokia before January 15^th, 2006.  Once we know the number of rooms needed, we shall look for them at nearby hotels.

The fee will include all dinners and the excursion; will not include lunch (plenty of restaurants and pizzerias within 5 minutes walk from the Museum).  We expect the fee to be as in the previous meetings (around 300 Euro)
