We are offering around €1 million towards the reopening of the emblematic national sports infrastructure at Schoinias. The project includes:

  • Cleaning and restoring the wet track.
  • Replacing and maintaining the floating facilities.
  • Carrying out technical interventions in 4 buildings (repairs and improved waterproofing).
  • Upgrading the athletes' accommodation and preparation areas.

Rowing open day 

In 2025, on the occasion of the International Family Day, we organised a rowing open day for our people and their families at the Schoinias Olympic Rowing Centre.

Our colleagues had the chance to learn more about rowing through:

  • A tour of the facilities
  • Training on a rowing machine
  • Rowing practice at Schoinias beach

The highlight of the event was the participation of Olympic medallists in rowing, who shared their experiences with the participants.
