You step onto the pebbled spit at Vasiliki and the bay pushes its afternoon wind straight at you — constant, predictable and ready to teach. The water here changes quickly from waist-deep learning flats to a wind-scored chop beyond the inner shoal, so instructors shepherd beginners out into manageable lanes while more advanced riders look for a gust to plane.

History
Vasiliki evolved from a small fishing village into an international windsurfing spot in the late 20th century as visitors discovered the bay’s reliable winds.
Conservation
The bay contains Posidonia seagrass beds critical to the Ionian ecosystem; operators encourage no-anchoring on meadows and brief visitors on marine-friendly practices.

Arrive early to warm up
Use the first 10–15 minutes for stretching and dry-land rig drills so water time is efficient and safe.
Bring a short wetsuit or rash guard
Even in summer, wind and spray cool you quickly; a thin wetsuit or long-sleeve rash guard extends comfortable session time.
Know the wind window
Thermal winds pick up through late morning into afternoon in summer — plan lessons later to get steadier conditions.
Respect seagrass and wildlife
Avoid dragging equipment over Posidonia meadows and give marine animals space; instructors will brief you on local rules.
Swimwear
Quick-drying swimwear is the baseline under a wetsuit or rash guard.
