Pankritio Stadium Heraklion

Seating up to 27,000 people, the Pankritio Stadium is known to be a state-of-the-art stadium that is set right on the picturesque island of Crete. Although it was mainly used as the site for the preliminary football matches during the 2004 Olympic games, the stadium served other purposes as well. As among the attractions in Heraklion, the stadium also houses a swimming pool, an eight-lane athletics track, roomy dressing rooms, hammer throw and shot put rings and a multipurpose conference hall.
