Exceptional sailing in Vassiliki's amazing waters!

The reason why so many of our guests return year after year, is because of the truly exceptional sailing conditions in Vassiliki's bay, our friendly and professional staff and the huge range of equipment ready for you on the beach.

Sailing conditions

Vassiliki is blessed with unique climatic conditions: flat water and winds that are ideally suited to beginners in the morning and experts in the afternoons. The blessed conditions are thanks to the mountains surrounding our bay, which cause the air to heat up in the morning which almost invariably leads to steady winds in the afternoon.

A.M. On most mornings, the wind is a gentle onshore breeze, ideal for beginners to get their first taste of the joys of sailing and windsurfing. The more advanced sailors use this time to brush up their techniques on the more demanding boats and to do some windsurfing freestyle.

P.M. Most afternoons the wind switches cross-shore and builds ready for an exciting afternoon in the safe waters of this expansive bay. The more experienced can do some heavy wind training or just go blasting, while the novices can team up with one of the instructors for the ride of their lives!

Sailing equipment

Waiting for you on the beach is an impressive line-up of boats: high performance dinghies and catamarans for experienced sailors and a great selection of less demanding craft for beginners and youngsters. See the overview of our fleet below.

Our team of instructors is highly professional, experienced and approachable; many have competed at national and international level. We are an RYA recognised teaching school (click here to see our RYA certificate) and one of the few to offer courses that cover the full range of the RYA syllabus. All courses are offered completely free of charge, though there is a nominal fee for any training materials you may require. Moreover, our RYA qualification and highly qualified instructors ensure that your safety is never compromised.

Whether you are a total novice or you have been sailing since you were a kid, there is no better place to enhance your skills while having fun on the water!
