ABOUT US

Elevate Your Game at Athens’ Premier Boutique Padel Club

Discover a new standard of play in the Northern Suburbs. Born from the vision of Vince Turpin—a pioneer of Greek padel—and Myrto Miliou, Cross Padel is more than a transformation of the former La Sfaira; it is a complete rebirth.

We have traded the conventional for the distinctive, creating a refined environment where world-class training meets effortless relaxation. At Cross Padel, we don’t just book courts; we curate an evolving experience designed for those who seek the best, both on and off the court.
