The Aegean 600 – the legendary sailing race across the heart of the Aegean Sea – returns to Attica, the Greater Athens Region, in 2025 with its signature blend of myth, challenge, and beauty. Set against the backdrop of one of the world’s most storied seas, this non-stop 600-mile offshore sailing race takes participants on an unforgettable journey through the Aegean — a sea praised by Homer and etched into the fabric of Greek history and culture.

Organized by the Hellenic Offshore Racing Club, the Aegean 600 is a sailing race designed by sailors, for sailors. It begins beneath the ancient columns of Poseidon’s Temple at Cape Sounion and sweeps past iconic island destinations across the Aegean. Along the way, competitors encounter dramatic coastlines, powerful winds, and breathtaking sunsets — with dolphins often joining as silent companions.

More than a race, the Aegean 600 is a voyage through mythology, natural beauty, and nautical tradition. In Attica, the Greater Athens Region, this unique event begins and ends where history meets the sea, offering sailors from around the globe a true modern odyssey.
