As
the first windsurf centre in Vassiliki, we have undisputably, the best
spot on the bay. The Neilson centre is one mile from Vassiliki
village at the windward end of the bay, giving the longest sailing
hours, clean winds and flat water, whilst the beach's gently shelving,
sandy bottom provides the best launching conditions.
If you
want to learn to windsurf then don't let Vassiliki's reputation put you
off, as the morning breeze is always gentle. However, when 'Eric',
Vassiliki's famous thermal wind, kicks in for the afternoon, experts
can choose from the impressive array of high-performance kit.
Combine this with the highest standards of tuition following the RYA National Windsurfing Scheme and access to a fantastic range of kit
and you have a superb windsurfing destination.
The
picturesque harbour becomes the social focus by night with the harbour
lights attracting the island’s visitors, many of whom arrive by yacht.
The surrounding busy bars and tavernas offer a choice of Greek as well
as European menus and as 'Vass' is so popular with windsurfers from
across Europe, there is always a party going on somewhere!
