The Aegean Regatta returns for its 25th edition from 22 to 28 August 2026, once again taking sailors on a unique journey of sport, culture, and discovery across Greece's maritime heritage.

Organized by the General Secretariat of the Aegean and Island Policy in cooperation with the Offshore Sailing Committee of the Hellenic Sailing Federation, this year's route connects four distinctive island destinations, starting from Limnia in Chios, with stopovers in Fournoi and Agathonisi, before concluding in Marathokampos, Samos.

Far more than an offshore sailing race, the Aegean Regatta is a celebration at sea that brings together people, places, and stories, showcasing the tradition and unique identity of the islands of the Eastern Aegean against the stunning backdrop of the deep blue Aegean Sea.
