Swimmers will enjoy an immersive journey through some of Skopelos’s most recognizable spots, including the dramatic clifftop church of Agios Ioannis—an unforgettable landmark captured on film.

The resort’s commitment to sustainability ensures that your participation supports eco-friendly practices while you enjoy a memorable swim experience. Before heading to Skopelos, take the time to explore Athens and marvel at the ancient Acropolis—adding another layer of cultural richness to your journey.
