37th Ikaros
International Chess Tournament 2014
Aegean Open
Championship 2014
(12-20 July 2014, Aghios Kirykos, Ikaria island, GREECE)
For the 37th
consecutive year “Ikaros” renews its annual appointment with greek and
foreign players at the beautiful island
of Ikaria for
the traditional international chess tournament that this year will take place
at Aghios Kirykos, the capital of the island, from 12th till 20th of July.
Once more, the main objective of "Ikaros" is to offer to all its guests an interesting tournament combined with relaxing vacations for a very reasonable price. To this end, the organization committee of the tournament made a considerable effort so as to keep the overall participation cost low (the basic package per person in a double room costs 200 euros for the period 12-20 July and includes accommodation (the board expenses are not included), entry fee, daily transportation to the playing venue and transportation from and to the port of Evdilos, in case this is necessary due to the ferry schedule). Prices get lower in case of triple of four bed rooms, while, as every year, there are special discounts for families, juniors, club teams and unemployed people. Moreover there are additional discounts for those who will pay in advance. Additionally, like the previous years, the organization committee will try to get reduced ferry ticket prices for the tournament participants.

announcement of the tournament, which, as always, also includes various side
