Five Reasons That Make Rodos Cup Unique

The sailing race Rodos Cup, organized every summer by the Athletic Association of Open Sea Sailors of Rhodes (ASIATHR), is not just another event in the open sea calendar. It is a special event that combines competitiveness, tradition, travel, and life experience.

Here are five reasons that make Rodos Cup stand out:

The Magic of the Route in the Dodecanese

The Aegean Sea is a sailing paradise in itself. Rodos Cup takes advantage of the beauty and geography of the Dodecanese, charting a unique route each year among islands with rich history and unexplored coasts. From Kos to Rhodes, passing through islands such as Kalymnos, Nisyros, and Halki, participants enjoy new destinations and breathtaking views every day.

The Warm Hospitality of Local Communities

At each island stop, local authorities and residents welcome sailors with enthusiasm, traditional treats, cultural events, and smiles. This human aspect of the race strengthens the bond between athletes and the region and creates a sense of community that is rarely found in other races.

Excellent Organization and Support

ASIATHR and its collaborating partners have long-standing experience and impeccable expertise in organizing offshore races. From safety and refereeing to hospitality and parallel events, everything operates with professionalism and care, making every crew feel secure and welcome.

Participation Categories for Everyone

Rodos Cup is not only for professional racers. There are categories for cruising boats without certificates, so even amateurs or tourists with owned or chartered boats can participate. The race is therefore open, friendly, and accessible to every sailor who loves the sea.

The Experience Goes Beyond the Race

Rodos Cup is a journey. It’s the exchange of experiences with crews from around the world. It’s the friendships born in the harbor. It’s the celebration after the race. It’s the evening stroll through the narrow streets of an island. It’s a week full of real life at sea and in the Greek islands.

If you’re looking for a race that will be unforgettable, where each day is different and every moment is full of energy, then Rodos Cup is for you.
