Elounda is located approximately 12 kilometers north of Agios Nikolaos and is already one of the most visited coastal areas in Lasithi. Tourists staying in the region during those dates can expect a lively atmosphere along the waterfront, with crowds gathering to watch the games. Entry to watch the tournament is expected to be open to the public. If you are visiting the Elounda or Agios Nikolaos area that weekend, the event offers a free, family-friendly activity alongside the beach.
