From October 10–12, 2025, Santorini will once again take center stage in the global sports tourism scene with the Santorini Experience, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. Over the past decade, this iconic event has grown into one of the most important international gatherings for sports, wellness, and culture, attracting both professional and amateur athletes, as well as passionate travelers from every corner of the world.
A Unique Celebration of Sports & Santorini
With the breathtaking Caldera as its backdrop, the volcanic cliffs, and the endless blue of the Aegean Sea, the Santorini Experience offers participants more than just a competition—it delivers a once-in-a-lifetime journey. Athletes and guests alike immerse themselves in a three-day celebration that unites sportsmanship, cultural heritage, and the authentic charm of Santorini.
Athina Luxury Suites & Aestian Hospitality: Gold Sponsor of the Event
This milestone year is made even more special by the support of AESTIAN Philoxenia & Hospitality, the Gold Sponsor of the Santorini Experience. As a proud member of the Aestian Hospitality group, Athina Luxury Suites is honored to be part of this world-renowned event that showcases Santorini not only as a destination of beauty but also as a hub for wellness tourism, outdoor activities, and premium hospitality experiences.
Guests staying at Athina Luxury Suites during the Santorini Experience will enjoy a front-row seat to this spectacular event, combining the energy of the races with the comfort and elegance of our suites, overlooking the legendary Caldera.
Culinary & Cultural Highlights
Event participants will also benefit from a 10% discount at Rizes Santorini, a proud partner of the Santorini Experience, where they can savor authentic Cycladic cuisine in a traditional village-style setting in Fira.
Adding to the cultural value of the event, this year’s trophies are handcrafted by Spanou Jewelry—the atelier of local goldsmith Konstantina Spanou in Megalochori. Her creations, inspired by Santorini’s heritage, symbolize both strength and grace:
- Kori of Thira for women, representing harmony, elegance, and cultural spirit.
- Aegagros for men, symbolizing endurance, resilience, and the untamed spirit of nature.
These unique awards highlight the seamless fusion of tradition, craftsmanship, and modern design that defines Santorini’s creative spirit.
