GREEK REGULATIONS ON COVID-19 (updated 10.8.21)

For the time being indoor restaurants and cafes, nightclubs, music venues, theaters and indoor cinemas will require visitors to show proof of vaccination (14 days since full vaccination) or proof of having recovered from Covid-19 (within the last six months and minimum 30 days since the first positive result). Children are required to have carried out a Covid-19 self-test to enter. Face masks are mandatory inside the theater’s space.

As you can see, this affects the conduct of, PoRtal 9 as you have to be fully vaccinated or recently recovered from Covid-19 to enter the venue. We are terribly sorry if anyone is unable to join us in September due to this and we feel obliged to note that, in the ever shifting changes in laws and regulations about the pandemic, there is a possibility we will come back soon with a new announcement.

GREEK REGULATIONS ON COVID-19 (updated 10.8.21)

What is the PoRtaL LARP Conference?

since 2013

PoRtaL Lore

Welcome to the next stop of our shared opus: PoRtaL 9. Started in Zagreb, Croatia and very soon it was apparent that it would exceed its mental parents and become the collective offspring of Balkan, Slavic and general European intellectual. Inspired by the deliberate use of the capital letters in PoRtaL (P for Play R for RPG and L for Larp) we decided we want to broaden the spectrum in 2021 and include everyone that could be or has been affected by our wonderful hobby. This notion opens multiple doors that we believe will do justice in the essence of PoRtaL and at the same time be a bidirectional learning experience.
