IRONMAN Costa Navarino, Peloponnese, Greece
IRONMAN 70.3 Costa Navarino on 25 October 2026 races on the south-west coast of the Peloponnese: 1.9 km in the bay, 90 km on rolling Messinian roads, and a flat 21.1 km to the finish.
Navarino Bay is almost enclosed, so the swim is as calm as a lake at the water temperature of the late-October Ionian, warmer than most of Europe at that point in the year.
The bike leaves the resort into olive country and rolls constantly. There is no long climb to plan around, only repeated short ones, and the roads are quiet enough that you can ride your own race for long stretches.
The trade-off is access. Kalamata has a small airport with limited seasonal flights, Athens is around three hours away by road, and there is very little between the resorts and the villages. Sort transfers and a bike-box plan before you enter rather than after.
