FLASH Info
Thessaloniki is the second largest city of Greece and the most important centre of the area. Built near the sea (at the back of the Thermaïkos Gulf), it is a modern metropolis bearing the marks of its stormy history and its cosmopolitan character, which give it a special beauty and charm.
Thessaloniki, with its host of Byzantine monuments (due to its significance during the Byzantine period), justifiably is considered an open-air museum of Byzantine art. Wandering through the city, it is worthwhile to see: The White Tower (15th century), the hallmark of the city, the byzantine walls, the archaeological site in 3 Septemvriou Str., with remnants of a cemetery basilica, a martyrion and early Christian graves, the byzantine bathhouse (late thirteenth century), etc. The Heptapyrgion castle was raised in stages, from the early years of the Byzantine Age into the Ottoman period. Bezesteni, a rectangular building with lead-covered domes and four entrances was built in the late fifteenth century and operated as a cloth market.

Avant Garde Sports Club is a modern sports centre just a few km. out of the city of Thessaloniki next to the suburb of Kardia. The club is designed in order to successfully provide services to those who want to play beach sports for fun, socially and competitively, from a beginner’s level all the way through to performance level. Moreover, Avant Garde Sports Club is an ideal place for Beach Volleyball training camps as it combines top-level facilities with calm weather most of the time around the year.
Furthermore, Avant Garde Sports Club has hosted more than a few international Beach Volleyball events such as the 2014-2016 CEV Continental Cup 3rd and 4th rounds in 2015, the 2015 BVA Beach Volleyball Tour Final, as well as events for the Hellenic Beach Volleyball Senior and Junior Championships in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Finally, Avant Garde Sports Club has also hosted International Beach Handball Events such as the European Beach Handball Championship Finals in 2014 and 2016.
