The University is approximately 10 km from the city center. From central Patras, follow Korinthou Street to its end, then continue along Panepistimiou Street. Shortly after the closed gymnasium "Olympionikis Dim. Tofalos," you will reach the first traffic lights just before the river (Charadros) and turn right. This road leads to the University, which is clearly signposted. If arriving from Athens, take the Athens–Patras National Highway. After the Rio tolls, follow the right lane towards Ioannina–Rio Port and exit at 25 Rio–Center. At the fork, take the left road towards University Hospital, passing under the bridge (keep right lane), and after 500 m, you will reach the University Hospital and the start of the campus.
