AGDE
A unique and innovative competition that allows swimmers of all ages and abilities to practice swimming in a natural environment, while at the same time raising awareness among participants and the general public of the fragility of our environment.
At the crossroads of fresh and salt water, swimmers will be able to set off in complete safety in the heart of the ancient Greek city over 1 km, 2.6 km and 5.25 km.
Whatever your level, we guarantee there’s a place for you! The key words: challenge, fun and a unique experience in one of summer’s most popular cities.
