OUR PARTNER FACILITIES | ACROSS GREECE

At Trips & Sports, we believe that flexibility creates better training camp experiences. Instead of owning sports facilities ourselves, we collaborate with carefully selected partner venues across Greece that match the needs of each sport and each club individually. This model allows us to offer training camps in a wide variety of destinations — from islands in the Aegean Sea, to vibrant city centres, and even remote mountain locations at high altitude. Every destination offers different advantages depending on the objectives of the team, the season, and the type of preparation required.

Our philosophy is simple: we only collaborate with facilities that meet high professional standards. Many of our partner venues are regularly used by professional clubs for pre-season preparation, tournaments, and international competitions. We prioritise facilities that comply with both European and federation standards, while also maintaining excellent levels of hygiene, organisation, and equipment maintenance. For us, quality is not optional. Every facility must provide athletes and coaching staff with an environment that supports high-level performance, recovery, and safety.

Indoor Facilities

For indoor sports such as basketball, volleyball, handball, and futsal, we always begin by understanding the specific needs of each club. Basketball is a strong example of the standards we aim for. We work with indoor arenas that provide heating or air-conditioning, professional wooden parquet flooring, modern scoreboards, and quality training equipment. Many of these stadiums are the home courts of professional clubs competing in national and European championships, which guarantees a top-level sporting environment. Several facilities also include attached gyms, tactical briefing rooms, physiotherapy treatment areas, recovery equipment, cryotherapy tubs, saunas, and dedicated chilling areas designed to help athletes recover properly between sessions.

Football

Football is one of the most popular sports in Greece, which means the country offers a large number of football facilities nationwide. Our preference is to collaborate with clubs and academies whose first teams compete at national or European level and who operate strong youth development structures. Whenever possible, we prioritise natural grass pitches, although high-quality artificial turf facilities are also available across the country. Our football specialists personally inspect the condition of the pitch, paying particular attention to ground levelling and surface consistency, as uneven surfaces significantly increase the risk of injuries and negatively affect training quality.

Swimming & Water Polo

Greece also offers outstanding conditions for swimming and water polo training. Across the country there is a large availability of both indoor and outdoor swimming pools that are used daily by professional swimming and water polo clubs. We collaborate with facilities that provide all necessary training equipment and maintain high operational standards throughout the year. Water temperature is always checked to ensure suitable conditions across all seasons, both for indoor and outdoor pools. For professional preparation, we offer Olympic-size swimming pools with a minimum of eight lanes, allowing teams to train comfortably and efficiently even during intensive training periods.

Cycling

Cycling teams benefit from some of the most impressive mountain routes in Europe. Greece is home to mountain ranges such as Pindos, Olympus, Taigetos, and Timfristos, with altitudes often exceeding 1,500 meters. These conditions make the roads ideal for endurance and altitude cycling camps. The road surfaces are smooth, the routes are diverse, and traffic management is carefully organised by our team. During training sessions, we accompany cycling groups with two support vehicles — one positioned at the front to regulate incoming traffic and one at the back to protect the riders throughout the route. The quality of these roads is further confirmed by the presence of international cycling events organised by L’Étape and UCI on several of these mountain routes.

No matter the sport, we ensure that every club receives the training equipment required for its preparation. From technical equipment and recovery tools to sport-specific accessories, our objective is to provide athletes and coaches with professional conditions that allow them to focus entirely on performance, preparation, and results.
