Agios Nikolaos

Aghios Nikolaos, with over forty years of experience in the tourism industry, is an
international and cosmopolitan resort that welcomes thousands of visitors annually.

The lake is its most charming feature. Legend suggests that Athena and Armetis
bathed in its waters. This lake is connected to the sea by a straight channel, while its
natural surroundings of red rock and trees attract the visitor magnetically.
At a small open-air theatre by the lake, locals and visitors alike can enjoy interesting
artistic and cultural presentations. A walk around the shops of Aghios Nikolaos is an
enjoyable experience. In the many stores the visitor can find a wide selection of
traditional Cretan artwork, copies of pieces from different archaeological museums,
jewellery, and embroidery.

There are also many examples of woven goods and Byzantine icons.
There are bustling cafeterias, charming coffeehouses and taverns serving traditional
Cretan “mesedes” or tidbits of local food and local wine or strong raki.

RULES OF BEACH VOLLEY

-

The court and equipment's
The matches you are playing on sand next to the sea.
The wide of a half field is 4,00 m and length 4,00 m (13,3 feet).
The net height is 1,15 m.
Colored Beach Volleyballs are used.

Players
- There are 3-4 players in a team. Grading of players is not demanded.
- One (1) player in the front line and two (2) players in the back court (and
one player can be substitute).
Referees and special rules

The referee will be a Beach Volleyball Referee, (at least to the highest national level)
and will lead the game exactly according to the FIVB rules:
• The service reception and the defence/reception of soft driven balls like
drives/shots must be executed with underhand pass or with tomahawk or poke
shot or supporting techniques like one hand reception/defence
• Only the hard driven balls can be defended with the overhand pass/beach dig
During the action of players setting overhand with fingers, the ball must
be played with one quick motion. There must not be any significant
movement of the ball downwards whilst in the hands and the ball may
not visibly come to rest in the player's hands. The emphasis with the
double contact is that this is not indicated by the spin of the ball but
by the fact that a clear fault - time difference between the two hands
that contact the ball - has occurred and that this is visible for the Referee
• The only exception is the block against the service that is allowed by
WOVD in Sitting Volleyball.
