About

Water Polo

Cyprus is one of the Mediterranean’s most reliable destinations for water polo training camps. Warm weather, five open-air 50m Olympic pools on one small island, and short transfers between the coast and the water let visiting teams train outdoors in real conditions when most of Europe is frozen indoors.

Water polo teams demand good weather and dependable pool time to build a proper pre-season, and both are hard to find across a full season back home. Cyprus weather conditions, combined with the five open-air Olympic pools packed into such a small island, are the main reasons why water polo clubs, national teams, and university squads choose Cyprus as their sports destination.

We build the whole camp around your squad — daily lane and pitch time, friendly games against local and visiting clubs, recovery and physiotherapy, meals, transfers, and accommodation within minutes of the pool. Whether you are a youth academy on a first tour or a senior side sharpening for a competitive season, a water polo training camp in Cyprus can be scaled to your group, your dates, and your budget.

Our Team

Cyprus Athletic Tourism has the experience, know-how, and highly trained staff to handle every part of your sports travel so your coaches can focus on the water. We arrange fully organized water polo training camps, friendly games, and entry into our tournaments and sport events.

Our team’s long expertise in the sport tourism industry gives us the advantage to secure the best value for money on accommodation, pool hire, transfers, meals, physiotherapy, and any other service your squad needs.
