Keys facts about Vasiliki
Windsurfing capital
It’s the ideal conditions at Ponti-Vasiliki Beach that have made this resort such a haven for windsurfers. The beach shelves so gently that the water is still shallow as far as 50m from the shore. There’s a regular wind here throughout the summer, nicknamed ‘Eric’, which gets progressively stronger throughout the day. Yet the headlands protect the waters from choppy waves.
Great food and drink
Good news foodies - there are plenty of bars and restaurants in Vasiliki. As some of the bars are set up for young windsurfers, they can get pretty lively at night, especially by the usually quieter standards of Lefkas. Enjoy a harbourside table right by the water’s edge for the most serene sea views.
