• A computer center accessible to delegations with internet connection and with all standard office software installed

• High-quality Wi-Fi public access on the entire premises of the Conference

‘Filoxenia’ is a cherished concept in Cyprus, one that has deep roots and a rich cultural heritage.  Hospitality, the official English translation of ‘Filoxenia’, doesn’t do justice to the concept as it does not encompass its main element, which is generosity of spirit. What is certain is that it is one of the attributes of the mentality and culture that Cypriots take pride in. Filoxenia’ literally translates to: ‘friend to a stranger’ some call it ‘The Art of Expressing Love and Friendship to Strangers’.
