It is the 9th consecutive major expedition of the specific team and this time the wager is 8-10 rowing every day with aim to attract the public awareness.
The two rowers will try to cross the southern Aegean through the west Cyclades islands complex as they will follow the itinerary Sounio-Kea-Kythnos-Serifos-Sifnos-Kimolos-Polyaigos-Folegandros-Sikinos-Ios and finally the island of Santorini.
"Ready to paddle from Sounion to Santorini. 160nm to raise awareness for sea protection against overfishing and plastic pollution. Departure from Sounion, Monday 17.06." the team posted on the social media.
