Stadium "Pyrros Dimas" |

| Location: |
|
The
stadium is in Litohoro (also spelled Litochoro), a small town
on the foothills of Mt Olympus (90 km south of Thessaloniki, 430 km
north of Athens). Coming from the motorway, you will be entering the
town with a big park on your right. Keep going until you reach the
police station, where you'll have to turn right. Turn left after the
Enipeas river bridge, following signs to "Olympus" (not
straight ahead to "Dion") and you will be outside the stadium
after 300m.

More
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. |
