ATHENS – The Greek Maritime Golf Event returns for the 8^th year with the participation of distinguished executives of the Greek and global maritime industry, on September 8-11, 2022, at Costa Navarino, Messinia.

More than 100 leading executives from the maritime industry will play at the two new 18-hole signature courses and cross their golf clubs to win the top three positions in the overall standings, whereas special awards will be given to individual players who will achieve the best scores in the Longest Drive and Closest to the Pin categories.
