Why Rhodes for summer?

This event is a great opportunity to combine 5-star summer holidays on the coast of a famous Greek island together with an International Open Tournament giving 10,000 euros in prizes for all categories: general standings, women and juniors!

Rhodes Old Town

The island of Rhodes is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe and it has several nicknames, such as "Island of the Sun", "Pearl Island" and "Island of the Knights", named after the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem, who ruled the island from 1310 to 1522.

Playing Hall

Rhodes was also famous for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Medieval Old Town of Rhodes has also been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Rhodes is a popular destination and connected with all major European airports and many airlines:

If you are traveling from or via Türkiye, there is also a daily ferry between the ports of Fethiye and Rhodes:
