The
stadium is located in Rethymno, 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). You may also get there by
boat from Piraeus. The stadium is in fact located in Gallos, south-west
of Rethymno. To get there, head west towards Hania through the old
coastal National Road. About 2 km after leaving the city centre, you
will come to a sign pointing left to the "National Sports Centre
of Rethymno Gallos". Turn left and follow all the next signs
for another 2 km of uphill road to the stadium.

More
data: The Municipal (formerly "National") Stadium of
Rethymno Gallos has one single roofed stand on its west side. It used
to hold 1,600 spectators, but the installation of plastic seats on
its central part reduced capacity to about 1,300. Although the stadium
is extremely small, it is today in very good shape. It is now not
used by EAR (the professional club no longer exists after the relegation
from the 3rd Division in 1999), however Gallos Rethymno Stadium is
host to the Vardinoyannia
annual International Athletics Meeting.
The stadium is owned by the Municipality of Rethymno. |
