The best way to get there is by using the <i><b>tram</b></i> (either line 4 or 5). Get off at "Aegeou" stop and walk uphill along Aegeou Street, towards Ano Nea Smyrni. 500m later you will come to Artakis Street, where you must turn right. In 200m you will be outside the indoor hall.</font></div> </td> </tr></table></div> <div style="position:absolute;left:135;top:833;width:640;height:18;"> <table width=640 height=18 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr valign="top"> <td><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>Built in: </b>1979</font></td> </tr></table></div> <div style="position:absolute;left:135;top:871;width:640;height:18;"> <table width=640 height=18 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr valign="top"> <td><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>Home of: </b> <a href="http://www.panioniosbc.gr" target="_blank">Panionios B.C.</a> (A1 Division) - they use <a href="../hellinikon/hellinikon.html">Helliniko Arena</a> for Eurocup games</font></td> </tr></table></div> <div style="position:absolute;left:135;top:1143;width:440;height:192;"> <table width=440 height=192 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr valign="top"> <td> <div align="justify"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><b>More data: </b> Nea Smyrni Indoor Hall is not suitable today for a club like Panionios. It is very small, looks really outdated and lacks modern amenities for both the fans and the athletes. This is why the club and the local authorities have long been asking for it to be replaced. This may happen either by the total reconstruction and expansion of the existing building or by the construction of a new arena somewhere in the vicinity. Plans above depict a new modern arena with a capacity of approximately 5,000 spectators. The cost for its construction (which is most likely to be state-funded) is estimated at € 5 million.<br> <br> The indoor hall is owned by the Municipality of Nea Smyrni. </font></div> </td> </tr></table></div> <div style="position:absolute;left:135;top:1669;width:630;height:40;"> <table width=630 height=40 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr valign="top"> <td> <div align="center"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"><a href="javascript:window.close()"><b>Close</b></a> this window, or (if you came here from another site) go to the main page of <a href="http://www.stadia.gr/intro.html"><b><i>stadia.gr</i></b></a>. <font size="1"> Hosted by <a href="http://www.isol.gr" target="_blank">isol.gr</a></font></font></div> </td> </tr></table></div> <div style="position:absolute;left:135;top:77;width:584;height:268;"> <table width=584 height=268 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr valign="top"> <td><img height=268 width=584 src="neasmyrni.jpg" border=0 title="The Municipal Indoor Hall of Nea Smyrni" ></td> </tr></table></div> <div style="position:absolute;left:135;top:519;width:441;height:294;"> <table width=441 height=294 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr valign="top"> <td><img height=294 width=441 src="neasmyrni2.jpg" border=0 title="The basketball court and the main stand" ></td> </tr></table></div> <div style="position:absolute;left:135;top:909;width:394;height:214;"> <table width=394 height=214 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr valign="top"> <td><img height=214 width=394 src="neasmyrni4.jpg" border=0 title="The plans for the new arena of Nea Smyrni" ></td> </tr></table></div> <div style="position:absolute;left:135;top:1355;width:440;height:294;"> <table width=440 height=294 border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr valign="top"> <td><img height=294 width=440 src="neasmyrni3.jpg" border=0 title="Nea Smyrni Indoor Hall" ></td> </tr></table></div> </div> </body> </html>
