Agistri swimming and running 2017
This weekend is the Agistri Running and Swimming Race 2017 and one of our favorite races on this beautiful tiny green island with its crystal clear waters and golden sands.
What more can one ask for! An ideal weekend of running and relaxing, just one hour from the Port of Piraeus!
The event is always perfectly organized and well attended because of this.
The people of Agistri are hospitable, making the whole experience magical.

So sorry we couldn’t make it this year ……….. but make a promise for the next one in 2018.
