data: The stadium bears the name of Pyrros Dimas, the three times
Olympic gold-medallist in weightlifting. The first time this stadium
hosted a match of a professional division was in 2002. This happened
as newly promoted Poseidon Neon Poron FC were not allowed to use their
own nearby gound.
Litohoro Stadium is not, however, in a much better condition. It is extremely small, having just a single stand. Nevertheless, it is worth visiting, if only for its amazing location. Although the photos here show some of it, one really has to be there to feel what is like standing in the shadow of legendary Mt Olympus. The stadium is owned by the Municipality of Litohoro. |
