The hall is located in Halkida (also Chalkida), 70 km north
of Athens. You may use the train to get there. The city straddles
Evripos (also Euripus) Strait, which separates the island of
Evia (also Euboea) from mainland Greece. The indoor hall is
located in Kanithos, a west district of Halkida that lies on the mainland.
To get there, if you are driving into the city coming from Athens,
you must not cross to Evia using the new cable-stayed bridge (locally
referred to as "high bridge"). Instead, you must follow
signs to the old lifting bridge. Before getting there and just as
you enter the city, you will see a roadsign to "Kanithos Sports
Centre" pointing left. Follow it and in 500m turn left again
at a similar roadsign. You reach Halkida Indoor Hall after another
500m.

data: The hall is named after Tasos Kambouris, a pioneer for sports
in Evia. It features two similar stands along the court, while a theatre
stage is located behind one of the baskets. An extra tier of seats
can be installed in its place, raising the hall's capacity to about
1,600.
It has hosted matches of the Greek National Basketball Team and the 2003 All-Star Game. Also, it was the venue of the 2002 World Wrestling Championships for Women. The hall is owned by the Municipality of Halkida. |
