Special sports tourism accommodation packages available

Athens, April 8, 2019 – For the 7th consecutive year, “Navarino Challenge”, the annual celebration of sports, comes to Messinia and Costa Navarino from October 11 to 13, 2019 with new surprises and new activities!

Greek basketball legend Nick Galis, the first Greek basketball player to have joined the Hall of Fame, and to have been counted among the pantheon of world basketball greats, will be present at the award-winning event for the first time. Emphasizing the role of sports in bringing people together, Nick Galis pointed out: “Sport unites people. Sport unites nations. The Navarino Challenge brings together professional and amateur athletes, people of different ages, genders and skills. It creates friendships and special bonds between participants who all speak the same language, that of sports. As a society, we have to send the message that sports unites people – #sportsunitespeople – but to also give young children core ethical values through sport. Costa Navarino and Navarino Challenge are pioneers in promoting this idea and I will contribute to spreading the message with great pleasure”.

Nick Galis will be the guest of honour at this year’s event and he will be the one to tip off the 4on4 tournament at Costa Navarino. Participants who book their accommodation package at The Westin Resort Costa Navarino will, for the first time this year, have the opportunity to form their own championship team and compete in the tournament until the finals.
