motorway A1, it splits in two. Choose the right leg (Lambraki Avenue).
Drive along it for 700m and you will see the stadium on your left.
You may also use bus C18 from Pireos Street. Get off

More
data: The stadium's official name is "Nikea Stadium",
as it lies just within the boundaries of the Municipality of Nikea,
however most people know it as "Korydallos Stadium". It
is located about 2 km east of Neapoli
Stadium, home ground of Proodeftiki's local rivals, Ionikos.
The ground is notoriously small; it is also called "the cage of Korydallos" and if you take a look at the pictures on this page, you will understand why! It was somewhat upgraded in 2000, becoming an all-seater, with a new turf and new lights. Proodeftiki FC have repeatedly expressed their will to leave Korydallos Stadium, something that may happen in the future, provided that a new planned stadium gets the green light by local authorities. The stadium is owned by the Ìunicipality of Nikea. |
