Holargos B.C. (alternate spellings: Cholargos, Holargou, Cholargou) is a Greek professional basketball club. The club is located in Cholargos, Athens, Greece. The club's full name is Kalathosfairikos Omilos Holargos (Greek: Καλαθοσφαιρικός Όμιλος Χολαργού), which is abbreviated as (Κ.Ό. Χολαργού), and which means Basketball Group Holargos.

In 2016, the club was merged with Livadeia, and was promoted to the Greek A2 Basket League.

History

In 2009, Holargos appeared for the first time in the 4th-tier level of the Greek national championships, in the Greek C Basket League. In 2012, the club was promoted to the 3rd-tier level Greek B Basket League, and stayed there for 3 years.

In 2015, the club merged together with Livadeia, in order to be able to participate in the 2nd-tier level Greek A2 League. During the 2016 summer transfer window, Holargos managed to make some very good transfers (for that level of competition), including Nikos Angelopoulos, Georgios Apostolidis, Giorgos Tsiakos, Igkor Milosevits, and Kevin Bleeker, who became the first non-Greek player to sign with the team.
