Vassiliki Bay on the southwest coast of Levkas island is the place for windsurfing. The brisk afternoon wind that blows off the hills has made Vassiliki a place of pilgrimage for board-sailors and is said to be one of the ten best in the Mediterranean. The wind here is popular that even has a name, Eric!

It’s a relaxed waterfront town with plenty of good tavernas lying in the shade of the trees and is a charming place to visit on a Vassiliki boat charter. Bounded to the west by the rugged hills of Cape Doukato, the limestone cliffs that give Lefkas its name and from which the poet Sappho is said to have leapt to her death after having been spurned by her lover, Vassiliki is a wide and sheltered bay that is happening place in summer with many onshore activities to keep the troops entertained.

In July and August you can expect to find windsurfing competitions, beauty pageants and plenty of fun. There’s even a disco so get your dancing shoes ready.
