About

Among Crete's local businesss, Joltie - Lido Soccer is a sports and recreation venue at Panagias Malevi 54, Iraklio 714 10, Greece, on Greece's largest island. It serves the Iraklio area as a place for five-a-side football and similar pitch-based play.

The venue is known for its soccer facilities, drawing teams and casual players from around Iraklio who book pitches for matches and training. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward sports ground rather than a spectator stadium, with the focus on getting on the pitch and playing. A rating of 4.5 out of 5, built from 1177 reviews, shows how consistently players respond to it, and that volume of feedback makes it one of the more reviewed sports venues on Crete. It sits within reach of Heraklion, the island's main urban centre.

Joltie - Lido Soccer keeps its doors open 24/7, so matches and sessions can be arranged at any hour. Two photos give a preview of the pitches before travelling, and the venue's own site at http://www.lidosoccer.gr/ carries further detail.

Crete enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild winters, and the busiest visitor period runs from June to September. Food on the island leans on fresh seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats, so meals after a game are easy to find. Ferries connect the Greek islands, while flights from Athens and major hubs also reach Crete. Greek is the everyday language, and Iraklio sits on the island's northern side, within range of Chania and Rethymno for those touring further.
