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.
