Vassiliki

Wing Beginner Intermediate

A deep bay on Lefkada where a thermal wind, nicknamed Eric, funnels down the valley most summer afternoons at 18–25 knots after light, glassy mornings. The water is flat and warm with a long shallow shoreline. A classic place to learn wing and windsurf; kites are largely absent because of the bay's layout and crowding.
