Location:
The hall is located in Rethymno (also spelled Rethymnon or
Rethimno), on the island of Crete. The city does not have airport,
but it is served by those of Heraklion (80 km to the east) and Hania
(60 km to the west). The indoor hall itself is located close to the
Rethymno city centre, next to the KTEL bus terminal and the town court,
on Igoumenou Gavriil Street that leads west towards the old coastal
National Road to Hania.

More
data: Rethymno Municipal Indoor Hall is named after Melina Merkouri,
a famous Greek actress and politician. The hall has hosted the final
phase of the 2007
European Championship for Men Under-16. This, along with the fact
that AGO Rethymno B.C. were promoted for the first time to the A1
Division, were the reasons behind a small scale renovation of the
hall that took place in the summer and autumn of 2007. These works
included the installation of new stands, which added roughly 500 seats
to the hall's capacity.
The hall is owned by the Municipality of Rethymno. |
