Hello everyone in Paros and Antiparos,

I visited and fell in love with your islands in 2016 and again in 2017.

I really want to take part in the swim between islands.

I tried last year to do it on the 08th July but the wind was too strong and it was transfered to the 13th…
But I had to leave Greece on the 10th…so i was very sad i couldn’t take part.

Now I am planning to stay 2 weeks on the islands next year (2018), in case the event gets posponed again.

But i need to do a lot of planning (air tickets, accomodation and most importantly apply for days off at work a lot of time before…)

So….could you tell me please, what Saturday in July next year are you planing to try to swim FOR THE FIRST TIME ? 01st or 08th?? Do you know that already?

Please let me know if you do.

Many thanks and best wishes,

Andre Castella
