The club is also known as G.S. Kymis, with the club's full name being Gymnastikos Syllogos Kymis ([Greek](/source/Greek_language): Γυμναστικός Σύλλογος Κύμης). The club has competed in the [Greek Basket League](/source/Greek_Basket_League). The team's [emblem](/source/Emblem) is the [Greek Goddess](/source/Greek_Goddess) [Athena](/source/Athena). Kymi was founded in 2010, with the creation of the men's basketball section. The club began its course very strongly, and managed to achieve several league [promotions](/source/Promotion_and_relegation), from their local regional championships, all the way up to the [top-tier](/source/Greek_basketball_league_system) level Greek national league. In 2019, the club merged with [Lavrio](/source/Lavrio_B.C.), and granted its licence for the [Greek Basket League](/source/Greek_Basket_League) to them. Kymis then temporarily suspended its basketball operations, and dropped out of all competitions for the time being. ## Logos - (2010–2016) - (2016–2019) ## History The Greek athletic club Gymnastikos Syllogos Kymis 1893, or G.S. Kymis 1893, was founded in the year 1893. G.S. Kymis was one of the first Greek [sports clubs](/source/Sports_clubs), and the club's gym was used to train Greek athletes that competed at [the first modern Olympics in 1896](/source/1896_Summer_Olympics). G.S. Kymis was also one of the original 28 founding clubs of the [Hellenic Amateur Athletic Association](/source/Hellenic_Amateur_Athletic_Association) (SEGAS) in 1897. In 1907, G.S. Kymis ceased operations as an active sporting club. In 2010, an ownership group re-founded the club G.S. Kymis, as a legal continuation and rights successor of the original G.S. Kymis 1893 club. The club was re-founded using the same [emblem](/source/Emblem) that the original club used, the [Greek Goddess](/source/Greek_Goddess) [Athena](/source/Athena). ### Local regional categories At the beginning of the 2010–11 season, the club joined the 3rd class of the local regional ESKASE division, and managed to directly achieve a [promotion](/source/Promotion_and_relegation) to the ESKASE local regional second division. In the following season, Kymis maintained its previous season's impetus, and in the next summer, it gained another promotion to the 1st class of the local regional ESKASE league. In May 2012, the club named [Vassilis Bratsiakos](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vassilis_Bratsiakos&action=edit&redlink=1), as the men's team's [head](/source/Head_coach) basketball [coach](/source/Basketball_coach). The rise of the club's status in the 1st ESKASE local regional league continued the following year, when Kymi won their local regional championship against A.C. Kymi, and gained promotion to the [Greek lower level national leagues](/source/Greek_basketball_league_system). ### Lower level national leagues With [Vassilis Bratsiakos](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vassilis_Bratsiakos&action=edit&redlink=1) as the head coach, Kymi became the champion of the [4th-tier](/source/Greek_basketball_league_system) level [Greek C Basket League](/source/Greek_C_Basket_League), finishing with 19 wins and just one defeat. The next season, the club competed in the 3rd-tier level [Greek B Basket League](/source/Greek_B_Basket_League), and in particular, in the South Group. Continuing its upward trend, the club once again finished in the top of the final standings, having collected 24 wins and 2 losses, against 13 rivals, while maintaining an unbeaten record at home games. ### A2 Basket League In the [2015–16 season](/source/2015%E2%80%9316_Greek_A2_Basket_League), the club competed in the 2nd-tier level [Greek A2 Basket League](/source/Greek_A2_Basket_League), for the first time in its history. During the 2015 summer transfer window, Kymi managed to make some very good transfers (for that level of competition), including [Stavros Toutziarakis](/source/Stavros_Toutziarakis), [Ioannis Psathas](/source/Ioannis_Psathas), [Alexandros Sigkounas](/source/Alexandros_Sigkounas), and [Vaidas Kariniauskas](/source/Vaidas_Kariniauskas), who was signed from the [EuroLeague](/source/EuroLeague) team [Žalgiris Kaunas](/source/BC_%C5%BDalgiris). This made Kymi one of the favorites to win the A2 league. On May 21, 2016, Kymi beat their main rivals for the league's [promotion](/source/Promotion_and_relegation), [Faros Keratsiniou](/source/Faros_Keratsiniou_B.C.), by a score of 67–56, and secured their place in the top-tier level [Greek Basket League](/source/Greek_Basket_League) for the first time in the club's history. Kymi also became the first club that had managed to get six straight promotions to higher-tier leagues.[1][2] ### Greek Basket League Kymis played in the [top-tier](/source/Greek_basketball_league_system) level [Greek Basket League](/source/Greek_Basket_League) for the first time, in the [2016–17 season](/source/2016%E2%80%9317_Greek_Basket_League). Following the [2018–19 season](/source/2018%E2%80%9319_Greek_Basket_League), the club merged with [Lavrio](/source/Lavrio_B.C.), and granted its licence for the [2019–20 season](/source/2019%E2%80%9320_Greek_Basket_League) to them. Kymis then temporarily suspended its basketball operations, and dropped out of all competitions for the time being, due to the delays on the construction of the new stadium in Kymi. ## Arenas The club normally plays its home games at the Nikos Marinos Indoor Hall, a small arena that originally had a capacity of about 500.[3] After the [promotion](/source/Promotion_and_relegation) of the club to the [top-tier](/source/Greek_basketball_league_system) level [Greek Basket League](/source/Greek_Basketball_League), Kymi began to renovate and expand the arena, in order for it to be eligible for Greek Basket League matches. The capacity of the arena will be increased from 500 to 1,100 seats. While the Nikos Marinos Indoor Hall was being renovated, Kymi decided to play their home Greek Basket League games at the 1,620 capacity [Tasos Kampouris Kanithou Indoor Hall](/source/Tasos_Kampouris_Kanithou_Indoor_Hall),[4] which is also located on the [island of](/source/List_of_islands_of_Greece) [Euboea](/source/Euboea), in [Chalcis](/source/Chalcis). ## Season by season Season Tier Division Pos.
