The Experience

The Pickleball Holiday That Still Feels Like a Holiday

This is a sociable hosted escape built around two different pickleball experiences and time to enjoy the Athens Riviera.

01

Saturday Practice Together

Enjoy a dedicated two-hour organised practice session later on Saturday: play together, rotate partners and settle into the local playing conditions. All levels are welcome, with groups organised according to ability wherever possible.

02

Sunday Play the Locals

A friendly three-to-four-hour mini-tournament is planned with suitably matched local players. The final format, rotations, player groups, session times and local-player arrangements will be confirmed before departure.

03

A Friendly Hosted Escape

A dedicated trip host will support the group throughout the escape, helping everyone feel welcome on and off the court. The courts are approximately 11 minutes’ walk from the hotel, with plenty of holiday time around the playing programme.

Designed Around You

Two Playing Days. Plenty of Riviera Time.

When you are not playing, the time is yours. Relax by the hotel pool, head to the beach, discover Glyfada’s cafés and shops, enjoy a Greek lunch or explore central Athens. An optional private Athens food and walking tour is available before Saturday’s pickleball session.

✓ All playing levels welcome
✓ Local-player match-ups planned
✓ Free time built into the stay

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I join this trip on my own?

Absolutely. Solo travellers are very welcome. Single occupancy is €1,099 per person, subject to room availability. If you would prefer to share, we may be able to introduce you to another solo traveller; room-share matching requires both guests’ agreement and cannot be guaranteed.

Can I bring a non-playing partner?

Yes. Non-playing partners are very welcome and can enjoy the hotel, Glyfada and the Athens Riviera during the pickleball sessions. No separate non-player reduction has been confirmed, so the standard €789 per-person shared-room price applies.

What level of pickleball is this for?

Players of all levels are welcome. We’ll ask about your playing experience before departure so practice groups, rotations and matches can be organised according to ability wherever possible.

What accommodation and board basis are included?

Three nights in a 4★ hotel in Glyfada, in a twin or double room based on two guests sharing, with breakfast each morning. The hotel is close to the beach and approximately 11 minutes’ walk from the pickleball courts. Lunches and evening meals are not included.

Are flights included?

No. Flights are booked and paid for separately. The brochure’s indicative direct Ryanair return fare is approximately €199.32 per person, including Priority Boarding, one small personal bag, one 10kg cabin bag and a standard reserved seat. The airfare is subject to live availability and may change until booked and paid for.

What are the recommended flights?

The brochure recommends direct Ryanair flights: FR6029 on Friday 4 June 2027, Malta 12:15 → Athens 14:55; and FR6028 on Monday 7 June 2027, Athens 22:50 → Malta 23:40. All times are local. Flight schedules and fares remain subject to airline confirmation.

What is the indicative cost if I add the recommended flights?

Using the brochure’s indicative airfare, €789 for the ground package plus approximately €199.32 for the separate return flight gives a planning figure of approximately €988.32 per person sharing. This is not a fixed combined package price; flights are booked and paid for separately and the overall amount changes if the airfare changes.

Can you help me arrange my flights?

Yes. Premier Getaway Club can assist with the recommended direct Ryanair flights. You can also book independently. If you choose different flight times, check with us before booking if you would like to use the group airport transfers.

Are airport and court transfers included?

Private return group airport transfers are included and are coordinated around the recommended Ryanair flights. Guests booking different flights may need to arrange and pay for their own transfers. No group court transfers are planned because the courts are approximately 11 minutes’ walk from the hotel.

Is my payment financially protected?

Payments made to Premier Getaway Club for eligible consumer package bookings are processed or declared through Trust My Travel. The exact protection applying to your booking is identified in your payment request, booking confirmation or protection documentation. Payments made directly to an airline or another third party are subject to that provider’s arrangements.

Is Premier Getaway Club IATA accredited?

Premier Getaway Club is an IATA TIDS Code Holder — 96209245. TIDS is an industry identification programme; it is not IATA Agency Accreditation and does not provide ATOL or consumer financial protection.

Is the optional Athens food and walking tour included?

How much pickleball is included, and will we play locals?

Suitably matched local players are being arranged for Sunday. Final session times, court configuration, match groups, format and local-player line-up will be confirmed before departure.
