Title: Tennis Courts
Post by: em2oo2 on May 14, 2013, 03:32:50 PM

Hi all!

This may be a silly question, but the tennis courts in San Stefanos - do you just turn up when you want and use if free and just take your own equipment?

I've never really paid much attention to them before but my fiance is fancying a game or two when we go in September and need to know whether we need to take our own rackets etc!? Or whether they have some there you can hire?

Whether we end up using them or not i think will be a different matter!!  ;D

Thanks very much!

Em  :)

Hi Em,

We did something similar a couple of years ago. Aparently the guy how is is the apartments directly opposite has rackets for hire and can give you access, but he was never around when we were there. So, we ended up using the court at the Thomas Bay Hotel. Its not a full size court and the net was very saggy ;), but it was good fun for an early morning game  ;D

Good luck and enjoy.

Richard.

Thanks Richard!

Yeah its nothing serious, might just want a few goes really!  :) 

Do you know whether you can use the Thomas Bay courts if your not staying at the hotel? Do they charge and/or have their own rackets?

I don't wanna waste any weight in my suitecase if not going to use the rackets!! lol  :P

Cheers!

We weren't staying at the Thomas Bay and there was a small charge for a court for an hour (5 euros I think). They also hire racquets as well for a small charge, if you need the extra baggage allowance  :)
