First Amphitrite race - Giardini Naxos 10 May 2009
Next 10 May 2009 in Giardini Naxos (Messina) will take place the “First Amphitrite race ”.
In ancient Greek mythology, Amphitrite was a sea-goddess.
Under the influence of the Olympian pantheon, she became merely the consort of Poseidon, and was further diminished by poets to a symbolic representation of the sea.
The race organized and promoted by the A.s.d Marathon Club Taormina, Regione Sicilia, Comune of Taormina and Giardini Naxos will start off at Giardini Naxos (near the harbour) at 09h30 am.
Giardini Naxos is a popular tourist destination, famous for its beaches, the Ionian Sea, and its small, but bustling fishing port.
In the hills above Giardini Naxos is situated the wonderful town of Taormina.
