#18 GREECE [Milos] — The Aphrodite Edition
Moonscapes, deep blue aegean waters, cave passages, 100m long narrow passages - Aphrodite overlooks you in this epic adventure swim heaven in the Cyclades.
Based in the whitewashed fishing village of Pollonia, this full edition traces the volcanic coastline of Milos past the lunar white rock of Sarakiniko and the sculpted cliffs of Kleftiko. The 33.3km unfolds as five to seven swims across four days, through sea caves, secret beaches and sheltered turquoise bays, often accompanied by turtles and dolphins. Swim event #18 from 3 - 6 June 2027, with water at 20 to 22°C and warmer still in the sheltered bays. Calm, sun drenched mornings and long daylight hours make this the first true taste of the Greek summer. Nervous about the swimming? A two day preparation camp runs immediately before the event.
