    Dear Here is the final list of lecturers and topics, abstracts and some useful information for the Spetsai Summer School, 1972. 1. The address of the hostel for those staying overnight August 15/16th is: Hostel Fititiki Estia, 8 Issöü St., Ano Ilissia, Athens, (Telephone 743-277). Transport on the morning of 16th August will be provided to Piraeus to catch the 7. 45 a. m. boat to Spetsai. 2. Everyone is advised to catch the 7. 45 a. m. boat (which may only leave at 8 a.m.) boat to Spetsai on 16th August. This leaves from Piraeus harbour, which can be reached from Omonia Square in Athens by underground. For information on other boat lines phone the Argossaronikos Services (473. 134). 3. If you are driving to Greece by car, leave your car at Kosta, a small village on the Peloponnese coast adjacent to Spetsai. There is no official car park but in the past cars have been safely left there. Catch a small ferry boat (just, a small motor boat) to Spetsai. 4. Check (a) that your passport is valid, (b) whether you need a visa to enter Greece and, (c) whether you need any vaccination certificates. 5. We strongly advise you to take out suitable medical insurance. There will be a doctor on the course to help with minor ailments. 6. There is no need to bring any heavy or formal clothing. A sweater, in case the evenings are cool, is all that you should need. Don't forget your swimsuit (or bikini). 7. Hie voltage on the island is 220 volts. 8. The pre-Spetsai Secretariat address is:- Summer School of Molecular Biology, c/o Dr. A.E. Evangelopoulos, The National Hellenic Research Foundation, 48 Vassileos Constantinou Ave., Athens 501/1, Greece. Telephone 729-811, Ext. 252 or 155. 9. The school will start with a small reception in front of the Anargyrious and Korgialenios school at 7. 30 p. m. on August 16th. 10. Those who wish correspondence to be forwarded to them at Spetsai should have it sent to: NATO Summer School, c/o the Xenia Hotel, Spetsai, Greece. 11. Last lectures will be 29th August before noon. Blackboards and slide projector for 2 x 2 slides, and 16 mm movie projector will be available in the lecture hall. It is likely to be bothersome trying to convert Greek currency into dollars for taking out of Greece at the end of the course. We will reimburse travelling expenses from our Cambridge account. This can be paid in advance if you request it. Per diems and honoraria will be paid at Spetsai. All lecturers not on a package deal will be responsible for their own hotel bills. Please let us know any queries as soon as possible. The Organising Committee
