You need to be at the courts by eight. You also need to sleep. Konaki Analipsi is five to eight minutes from Lyttos Sports Center — close enough for warm-ups, quiet enough to recover between matches.
Competing or training at Lyttos on Crete's north coast? Konaki is a practical alternative to a resort room.
What Lyttos offers
The Lyttos Sports Center at Lyttos Beach Resort (Anissaras / Analipsi) is a major European sports venue:
- Tennis — Lyttos Tennis Academy; ITF tournaments since 2012; training camps and pre-season blocks
- Padel — five courts (four indoor, one outdoor); regular FIP World Padel Tour events including Silver and Bronze tiers
- Beach tennis, volleyball, soccer, plus pickleball, swimming, gym, and physiotherapy
Heraklion Airport is about 20 minutes from the venue — the same transfer time as Konaki.
