    2008MCCLogo.jpg The 2008 Mediterranean Challenge Cup will be held at Bowling Mega Place in Chania, Crete, Greece, from April 15-20, 2008.

    At the 15th edition of this annual tournament record 15 ETBF member federations from countries located in or around the Mediterranean Sea, Albania, Catalonia, Croatia, Cyprus, France, Gibraltar, Greece, Israel, Italy, Malta, Morocco, San Marino, Slovenia, Spain and Turkey will bowl for medals in Singles, Doubles, Team, All Events and Masters in two divisions - men and women.

    Crete is the largest island in Greece and one of its most popular holiday destinations. The island is rich of history and surrounded by myths (i.e. King Minos; Theseus and the Minotaur; and Icarus and Daedalus) that have been passed to us by famous Greek poets such as Homer, who influenced Greek mythology through the 'Iliad' and the 'Odyssey'.
