Lido Indoor Hall
Capacity: 1,600
Location: This hall is located in Heraklion (also: Iraklio) on the island of Crete. Heraklion has an international airport, but you may also get there by boat from Piraeus. The hall itself is located in the seaside Lido district, west of the city centre. Lido Indoor Hall is built right next to the Pancretan Stadium.

To get there (supposing you start outside the archaelogical museum) follow the signs to Hania and exit the venetian walls through Hanioporta. Do not continue on to 62 Martyrs' Avenue towards Hania, but instead turn right into Machis Kritis Street, passing by the KTEL (intercity buses) terminal. About 1 km after the Hanioporta you'll pass by the OFI Stadium and you will see the huge Pancretan straight ahead of you (1 km away), along the coastal road. An alternative route is through the 62 Martyrs' Avenue. When you reach a set of traffic lights with signs pointing left to the "New Road to Hania" and straight ahead to the "Old Road", turn right. This road leads to the sea and to Lido.
Built in: 1986
Home of: Iraklio/OFI B.C. (B Division)
More data: Lido is one of the smaller indoor halls of the top division. This is why its main occupants, Iraklio BC, wish to move first to the TEI Indoor Hall in 2004 and then to the Dyo Aorakia Arena. Note that Lido was the home of Iraklio until 1993. They returned to it in 1995, when they were promoted to the A1 Division. The hall was then somewhat upgraded (new stands were constructed etc). Even with these works however, Lido remains a very small and ageing hall that doesn't satisfy the needs of the Cretan club.
Lido Indoor Hall is owned by the General Secretariat of Sports.
