Athletic Festivals & Events in Athens
Already in ancient times, sports competitions and sports festivals were held in honor of the goddesses. Many the current sports have their origins in ancient Greece, and even today, almost every month of the calendar year different sports events take place in the greater Athens area.
The Athens Authentic Marathon Run, Athens Half Marathon, or Poseidon Half Marathon take place mainly in the autumn or spring months, when the moderate temperatures favor greater sporting efforts. In hot July, the Aegean Sailing Rally takes place, mainly between Athens, various Saronic Gulf Islands, and the eastern Peloponnese.
