Location:
The hall is located in the city of Amaliada (also Amalias),
in the region of Peloponnese, 295 km west of Athens. If you drive
to Amaliada through the Patras-Pyrgos National Road, do not use the
exit to "Savalia, Amaliada", but continue for 6 more km
until you reach "Kourouta" junction, where you must turn
left towards Amaliada. After 3 km you will be entering the city and
just as you cross the rails you must turn right into Papandreou Street.
In 200m you must turn left into Evangelistrias Street, 800m after
that turn left again into Oinomaou Street and after another 800m turn
right into Ghipedou Street. You will reach the main entrance of Amaliada
Sports Complex after another 200m.

More
data: Amaliada Indoor Hall was constructed in the late 1980s,
together with two more identical halls in the cities of Megalopoli
and Atalanti. Initially it only had one stand at its north side. The
hall was enlarged 15 years later, through the expansion of its south
side, however visibility from this new stand is very poor, due to
the fact that the pillars supporting the roof could not be removed.
As a result, the south stand is rarely used, except for its lower
section next to the basketball court, where fans enjoy an unobstructed
view of the action.
Despite being a small hall in a rural town, it has hosted important events: Group games of the 2003 European Championship for Women, the final round of the 2004 European Championship for Men Under-16, the final round of the 2006 European Championship for Men Under-18 and final round games of the 2008 European Championship for Men Under-18. It was also the venue for the 2006 Greek Volleyball Cup Final-eight and the 2008 Greek Basketball All-Star Game. Amaliada Indoor Hall is part of the city's sports complex, which also includes Amaliada Stadium, a swimming pool, one more smaller indoor hall and two football training fields. It is owned by the Municipality of Ilida, the seat of which is Amaliada. |
