The Pafilia padel tournament took place on October 6 and 7, 2026, at Minthis Sports Ground in a particularly warm atmosphere. The event combined sports with entertainment, offering employees the opportunity to reconnect after the summer, spend time together outside the workplace, and strengthen their relationships with one another.
Sixteen teams participated in the tournament, with the first matches taking place on October 6 and the event culminating the following day with the quarterfinals, the semifinals, and the grand final. Excitement was palpable both on and off the field, with colleagues cheering on the teams and creating a lively atmosphere filled with smiles and applause.
Beyond the competitive aspect, the tournament highlighted values that characterize Pafilia’s culture, such as cooperation, mutual respect, friendly competition, and team spirit. Mutual support, the joy of participation, and spontaneous moments among colleagues gave the event a particularly human touch.
A special moment was the awards ceremony, during which one of the Minthis homeowners presented the trophies and gifts to the winning team. His presence highlighted the close bonds that develop between the homeowners, visitors, and the people of Pafilia, reflecting Minthis’s philosophy as a vibrant community that brings people together through shared interests and experiences.
The Minthis Sports Ground provided the ideal setting for the event. It features four tennis courts, two padel courts, a space for various team sports, a 5×5 soccer field, and outdoor fitness facilities, offering a wide range of sports and recreational options. Blending seamlessly with the natural landscape, these facilities reflect Minthis’s wellness philosophy, offering an environment where sports, recreation, and connection with nature are an integral part of daily life.
After the competitions concluded and the awards were presented, the celebration continued with a relaxed evening that brought the Pafilia team even closer together. A pizza station, a burger truck, a cocktail bar, and a DJ created a pleasant atmosphere, giving colleagues the chance to share their impressions of the tournament, chat, and enjoy wonderful moments together.
“At Pafilia, we believe that a company’s strength lies in its people. Through initiatives like this, we strive to foster an environment of collaboration, trust, and teamwork, giving our people the opportunity to share experiences beyond their daily professional lives. “The presence of one of Minthis’s homeowners at the awards ceremony was particularly significant, as it reflects the meaningful bonds we have forged with the resort community,” said Evangelia Iliadou, Executive Director of Pafilia.
The two-day event at Minthis highlighted the value of collaboration, camaraderie, and shared experiences. Through such initiatives, Pafilia continues to strengthen team spirit and foster a work environment based on mutual trust, respect, and meaningful human relationships.
