Fencing in Athens

[Cyranox11]

Hi All
I am going to Athens for a conference in November, and I was wondering if anyone knew of any clubs in Athens that would be willing to allow a South African fencer to fence at their facilities.
I was also wondering if anybody knew of any competitions going in Athens in November that I may be allowed to fence in?
I fence all 3 weapons but specialise in sabre...
I have an FIE license...
Regards
Cyr

If you're talking about the real Athens (in Greece) you could try contacting VELISARIOS from this forum.

He lives outside Athens, in Pireus, and might be able to help you out.

Hello Cyranox11.
You can fence to mine fencing club in Piraeus (the port of Athens), there is no problem (But I must remind you that we have only epee classes).
The address is the following: 183 Praxitelous & 2nd Merarhias 185 35 Pasalimani Piraeus.
If you want additional infrmations email me at: tempus_invictus@pathfinder.gr
Now about competitions...I do not know but I 'll try to inform you soon.
