A total of 230 of Europe's leading players (106 juniors + 120 professionals) will be in Crete over the coming days to participate in the 2026 European Beach Tennis Championships.
The event is being held at Lyttos Beach Hotel resort, where a world class Beach Tennis arena has been specially constructed for the event.
Junior players raise the curtain on the championships, with special events for players aged 14 and 18 & Under scheduled to take place from 19-22 September.
The 19th edition of the professional event will follow from 23-27 September.

They'll face stiff competition from the other co-world #1 Mattia Spoto & Niccolo Gasparri (#10) and the other Italian team of Felipe Menguolo & Gabriele Gini, while Spain's world #9 Antonio Miguel Ramos Viera - the 2019 silver medallist - teams with #44 Alvaro Garcia Gonzalez.
