FootGolf with the European Champions
The event agenda includes various surprises and side events. AEGEAN, the tournament’s official airline partner, will support the inaugural FootGolf event at the Porto Carras Grand Resort. On May 17, football legends and European champions, including Kostas Katsouranis, Angelos Basinas, Giourkas Seitaridis, Takis Fyssas, and international Greek football players Giannis Amanatidis and Lazaros Christodoulopoulos, will compete to place a football into holes larger than golf holes with as few strokes as possible.
