The natural beauty of Greek island Santorini, with its volcanic caldera, Cycladic architecture, and enchanting sunsets, offer the perfect backdrop for the Santorini Experience sports tourism event from 10-12 October 2025. Welcoming both professional and amateur athletes from around the globe, the Santorini Experience will feature running races, open-water swimming, and parallel events.
Passing through Oia, Imerovigli, and Firostefani, the running events include three trail races – 5km, 10km and 15km – which are ideal for participants of all skill levels and include breathtaking views. A highlight of the schedule is the open-water swim of 1.5 miles (2.4 km), starting from the volcano and finishing at Old Port of Fira, organised in cooperation with the Santorini Boatmen’s Association.
In 2025, Santorini Experience celebrates its 10th anniversary, having evolved into one of the most recognised and awarded sports tourism events in Greece and internationally. Launched in 2015 with the aim of putting Santorini on the global sports map, it attracts athletes and visitors year after year.
