Typical pattern:
Mornings: F1-2
Afternoons: F4-7
Each day starts the same: The morning eases in with a gentle on-shore Force 1-2 breeze with flat water. This is perfect for family groups and beginners learning to windsurf or sail, try paddle sports, water skiing, or for more experienced sailors to experiment with new kit and moves.
Eric, our favourite wind strengthens slowly after lunch and remains very manageable for most of our guests as they sail into the middle of the afternoon, backed up by the combination of our state-of-the-art kit and expert instructors on hand.
By early afternoon the wind becomes a cross-shore force 3 to 4 and up to force 5 to 6 or even force 7 later in the day, almost every day. There is a little surface chop, no waves and our intermediate to advanced level guests love to blast around the bay into the early evening.
Eric, the afternoon thermal wind, is a daily occurrence and somewhat of a local phenomenon. It’s what brings keen water sports enthusiasts to Vassiliki every year because its predictability and consistency are rarely matched.
We provide a daily breakfast with continental and cooked options like a Full English or Eggs Benedict.
Our Driftwood beach bar serves a lunchtime meal and snack menu at reasonable prices. Expect a delicious selection of sandwiches, wraps, salads, pizza, pasta, burgers and local favourites like souvlaki and moussaka with healthy options.
For three nights a week, we offer evening theme meals in our Sky bar which has the best view of the bay in Vassiliki. You can pre-buy a package of 3 nights meals before you travel (Monday, Wednesday and Saturday) see useful extras.
The local Taverna’s provide good food at very reasonable prices and most have waterside seating and main courses from only €8.

The beach in Vassiliki is shingle and stone with a sandy section at the far end. Once you enter the water there is lovely soft sand beneath your feet and waist deep crystal-clear water for some distance out (about 50-60 metres) to the sandbar, which helps make windsurfing and sailing easier, safer and great for beginners and kids. Vassiliki has some of the cleanest waters in Europe and the beach gently shelves to allow easy water sports and safe swimming for all ages.
Our Beach Club gardens lead onto the beach and we have sun loungers and umbrellas by the water, near our water sports centre. We love to take a paddleboard, kayak or bike and explore nearby coves and beaches armed with only a beach towel and a good book.
