  Vassiliki Beach is well known in all over the world among wind surfing fans and is considered one of the best locations in the world for water sports fans.

  Vassiliki Bay benefits from on shore breezes building during the morning. This means that if you get up early enough you can wake-board across the bay while everything's still smooth, then beginner's lessons take place in the morning while winds are light. Other groups, not already beginners, go out then as well and practice all their moves and tricks in safe, light winds.

  As the bay gets hotter and the air in it rises, it starts to suck the colder air in over the mountain at the side of the bay separating it from the main Ionian Sea. Over lunchtime you can see the flags changing from a steady onshore breeze to a stronger cross-shore wind for the afternoon (the wind is called Eric). By 2.30 pm the wind can often be howling across the bay and it's time for those who can go serf-riding out to sea and back and generally looking very cool indeed. Lifeguards are permanently watching and there is also a rescue boat.
