Amateur and professional athletes of all ages and abilities from Greece and abroad will participate in the top sports tourism event Navarino Challenge and celebrate its 10 years, on October 21-23, 2022, at Costa Navarino and Pylos.
With the recent addition of 3 more awards, Navarino Challenge reached 45 awards in total in its history. The event, in collaboration with Costa Navarino and the Municipality of Pylos-Nestor, won 3 Gold Awards at the leading institution in Greece which highlights the best and most innovative practices in tourism, the Tourism Awards 2022. At the same time, it remained as the only event that continues to be distinguished in this institution from its very first year. Navarino Challenge won the Gold Award in the “Health & Wellness Tourism” category for the implementation of top wellness activities in its program, the “Pet-friendly Environment” category for the pet-friendly strategy followed and implemented throughout last year’s event, enabling all people to take part with their pets in all activities and the “Storytelling Excellence” category for the successful dissemination of the event’s message “Sports Unites People” and the promotion of the region’s sports tourism around the world.
