2nd Tango Aires Marathon in Xanthi, Greece

A message that connects us

We will use almost the same thank-you message we shared last year after the end of our marathon.
Not because there is nothing new to say, but because it reflects something essential: in this team, we build bonds with people.

The end as a new beginning

Let the end of the 2nd Tango Aires Marathon be the beginning of new friendships, new embraces, and new encounters. All of us, the Tango Aires team, are left without words.

A shared effort

We worked together… we got tired, we stayed up late, we felt stressed but we did it together.

And this collective effort led to something unexpectedly beautiful:
having all of you with us, in a small city in Northern Greece.

Our volunteers

First of all, we would like to thank our volunteers, who offered their time and love. Always present with a smile, they played a vital role in making everyone feel welcome.
Without you, we honestly would not have survived the four days! We also thank everyone who enriched our buffet with their homemade delicacies! Everything was absolutely delicious!

Catering, sound and support behind the scenes

Our heartfelt thanks to Sofia and Fotini from the catering team, who worked beyond regular hours to provide us with fresh treats whenever we needed them. We thank Nikos Intzes for taking care of our sound. We would also like to thank Ifigeneia Spanopoulou, responsible for the House of Art & Thought – Manos Hadjidakis Residence, as well as Dimitrios Antonoglou and Panagiotis Lazaridis, who supported us generously and without hesitation.

Sponsors and local supporters

We thank our sponsors, who offered their products so that all our guests could taste a piece of our city: Paparaskevas, Rosidis, Bebekidis, Pleteno, as well as the local businesses YDRO COSMOS, Flower Factory, Tam-Tam Traditional Café, 41 and Vale, and The House of Shadow – To Spiti tis Skias, for supporting our shared “madness”.

Creators and exhibitors

A big thank you to Despina Damianidou (Elegancia Porteña), Aikaterini-Styliani Kimourtzis (Cathrine Stella Shoe Collection),
Polytimi Kitsidi (Polytimi Nature Awakening), and Pleteno Koinsep (handmade products), who enriched the event with their beautiful creations.

Capturing the moments

We thank Antonis Antonaros and Alexis Kadoglou, who, although the moments are already engraved in our minds and hearts, will make sure they remain alive through time.

Our DJs

A huge thank you to our DJs  and, more accurately, our friends  Vassili Notis, TDj Rafail Saltas, Hakkı İnce, Mickoska Dance, Mata Venci Djorevi, Sarah Karavasili, and TDj Yiannis Dafnis, who filled our dance floors with their musical choices.

The venues that hosted us

We thank the Management Committee of the Wakf Property, who trusted us with the beautiful Tobacco Warehouse, where we worked with dedication and care to create a space that truly welcomed everyone. We also thank the Region for their trust and for granting us access to the historic residence of Manos Hadjidakis. Without these venues, nothing would have been the same.

To all of you

Above all, we thank all of you for the warm energy you brought to our team and our city. We promise that we will carry the same warmth forward and continue to share similar experiences together.

An apology and a promise

We would like to sincerely apologize to everyone who was unable to register in time. Our concern for offering the best possible experience to those already participating, maintaining balance between leaders and followers, and ensuring proper use of our venues made us cautious about opening more spots.

We will do our best to be even more prepared and better organized next year.
