The Aegean Regatta returns in 2026, once again setting sail across the Aegean on a unique journey of sport, culture, and discovery of Greece's maritime heritage.

This year's edition connects four distinctive island destinations across the Aegean in a route filled with stunning scenery, memorable experiences, and stories.

Starting from Limnia Volissou in Chios, with stopovers in Fournoi and Agathonisi, the event will conclude in Marathokampos, Samos, showcasing the tradition, culture, and unique identity of the islands of the Eastern Aegean.

For yet another year, the Aegean Regatta is far more than a sailing race; it is a celebration at sea that brings together people, places, and stories, from 22 to 28 August, against the backdrop of the deep blue Aegean Sea.
