We found a nice hotel with conference venue directly at the coast, like Baelo distant from the next city, but easy accessible.
Kalamaki Beach Hotel is a four star hotel located only 6 km distance from the Corinth canal, on the road to the ancient theatre of Epidaurus, near Mycene and only 85 km from Athens.
GPS coordinates: 37° 53’ 56’’ N, 23° 00’ 49’’ E

A cheap but nice camping site is located directly next to the hotel.
