Location / Access
FORTH can be reached from downtown Heraklion in ~20min by taxi (typical fare ~15Euros) or by regular public bus. Buses (25-30 min) run very frequently because it is the same line that goes to PA.G.N.I (ΠΑ.Γ.Ν.Η) which is one of the two main hospitals in Heraklion (University hospital).

Number 11 is the one going to the main hospital. At certain times it goes all the way to ITE (inside the campus, number 8). But most of the times it stops at a bust stop 5 min walking distance from the ITE campus.
Tickets: Price (B zone) is 1.60€ if you buy the ticket outside the bus (kiosk or vending machines) and 2.50 € if you buy it inside the bus.
