Vasiliki has been well know for its unique conditions by seasoned water sports enthusiasts for decades, it’s said to have its own micro climate and I have to agree, the mornings offer flat calm water with barely any wind and not too much strength from the sun, the best time for paddle boarding or E-foiling.
As the morning blends into midday the winds pick up, small ripples grow on the water, the sun has gained in intensity and its ideal conditions to practice slow gybes & tacks on a sail boat or windsurfer.
After lunch is the time when Vasiliki goes from a novices playground to a serious challenge for anyone on the water, the gentle on-shore breeze turns into a strong cross shore, the numerous safety boats & crews are now on full alert.
This is the time to hone your skills and polish up and what you’ve practiced in the morning, as the sun goes down the bars & restaurants will cater for all your replenishments and a perfect time to relax.

Joe Bennett...the man, the myth, the legend.
If you sail a Hobie or any other small catarman you'll know the name.
Joe's knowledge of these boats is second to none, his many years of moudling the teams of instructors at Wildwind has given him a great depth of sailing skills that he can now pass onto you.
Joe now offers 1-2-1 coaching, you can fine tune your skills with Joe.
In addition to his sailing skills Joe plays his guitar and sings most Thursday evenings at the Melas Hotel, almost without fail he will be joined by some special guests, every show has its own unique vibe.
I cannot recommend this company enough, they cater for everyone from a complete novice to a fully experienced sailor they have the equipment and skills to make it a great learning experience.
They boast that clients return year after year, I can testify to that, and there's a good reason for that.
It's not just a combination of climate and good range of equipment, above all it's the exceptional and qualified staff that you see on the beach everyday along with a solid back office at the venue and in the UK.
For over 37 years, Wildwind has been recognised as one of the top sailing centres in the world. Unique climatic conditions, the widest range of dinghies and catamarans in Europe, highly experienced instructors and a fun, laid-back atmosphere make this a holiday experience you just can’t find anywhere else.
