This
new indoor hall is located in Hania (also spelled: Chania),
on the west part of the island of Crete. Hania has an international
airport, but you may also get there by boat from Piraeus. The hall
itself was constructed 4 km west of the city centre, by the river
Kladissos, hence its name.

The
construction of the new Hania Indoor Hall at Kladissos was first announced
in 1995, but actual works commenced 7 years later!
Even so, its completion in the spring of 2005 was a much welcomed addition to the sports infrastructure of this Cretan city. The capacity of the new indoor hall is 2,750. Its arena is able to host all indoor ball games (e.g. basketball, volleyball, handball etc), as well as gymnastics. |
|
The
total cost of the new Hania Kladissos Indoor Hall was € 4 million.
It was constructed by Akter S.A. and was inaugurated for the Island
Games that were held on Crete in May 2005. More specifically, the
new indoor hall of Hania was the venue for the sport of handball.

Even
though the hall is now operating after many years, all its problems
have not been solved. The parking spaces provided for fans are extremely
few (less than 200). Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, the
brand new hall has not been connected to the city's sewerage system!
Local town authorities claim, however, that both these problems will
be solved in the near future.
The indoor hall is owned by the Municipality of Hania. |
