User	Thread poster: Paola Dentifrigi Ohrid conference 2009 - Travel
Paola Dentifrigi   Italy Local time: 06:32 Member (2003) English to Italian + ...	Feb 11, 2009 Hallo everybody, I know it's probably a little too premature, but since I've learnt of this conference I'm daydreaming of the possible ways to reach Ohrid. It's located in a part of the Balkans I haven't seen yet, so I'm planning to reach it via Tirana or Athens or Sofia* by car if someone wants to travel with me and share the expenses (we might rent a car, I am not travelling by car from Italy, although I might be capable of doing something like that). Otherwise, I'll jump on a bus or train in one of the aforementioned cities. Anyone interested? Paola *There are low costs or direct flights to these cities from Italy [Subject edited by staff or moderator 2010-06-15 20:30 GMT]   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

I just thought I'd share flight information I found for everyone's benefit. So I was not replying, just adding new content. Replying to you, Athens is pretty much far away from Ohrid. Even Thessaloniki seems to be difficult to reach - I checked if there are any direct buses, but apparently you have to take a series of buses and taxis to travel between these places. Reportedly there's a direct bus service from Tirana to Ohrid, taking 4 to 5 hours. This service drops you off at a place called Struga, from where you have to take a taxi to Ohrid proper. Two additional links: http://wikitravel.org/en/Ohrid http://wikitravel.org/en/Skopje cs.   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

Sorry for messing this up. Once the "official" Travel forum will be up and running, my posts here can be moved there. cs.   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

José Henrique Lamensdorf   Brazil Local time: 01:32 Member (2007) English to Portuguese + ...	A trick Feb 11, 2009 Ciao, Paola, This happened over a couple of decades ago, but it taught me a lesson. I don't know if with the EC all rental cars have a TT license or not. The idea may be interesting if you want to drive all the way there, but return by plane. What happened to me then was that I would go to England, Israel, and then Italy and Switzerland. The problem was that I would fly into Rome, drive all the way to Zurich, and from there fly back home (Brazil). If I took an Italian car to Switzerland, they would charge me (in those days) USD 400 extra, for fuel, toll, and a driver to take it back. So I made a reservation for a cheap Fiat Panda at Hertz. It was then the most internationally widespread rental car company. Every time I had contact with Hertz (England, Israel), I showed them my voucher for Italy, and told them "If you have a Swiss car in Italy, tell your colleagues to leave it at Fiumicino airport, I'll drive it back for you.". When I landed there, they had a shiny 4-door Opel Rekord with all the options waiting for me. I would pay only the Fiat Panda rates, some nice free upgrade. The license plates were from Lucerne, but they'd be very happy (and wouldn't charge anything extra) if I dropped it off at the Zurich airport. Maybe this will work for you. Just an idea. Italian and Brazilian drivers can get anywhere. Berlitz's travel guides to both countries contain exactly the same phrase: "To drive there you must have nerves of steel."   Subject: Comment: The contents of this post will automatically be included in the ticket generated.

Hi Paola and Elda, I am considering to fly Cuneo-Tirana and I would really appreciate it if we could share a car or travel together with the bus or whatever from Tirana to Ohrid. Reaching Skopje from Italy is really difficult and expensive... Would anybody else be joining us? Possibly Marta from Switzerland?
