TOP OF CHAPTER
VasilikiΒασιλική
Vasiliki has a stony beach but is one of the best windsurfing venues in the Mediterranean.
The enormous bay has soft breezes in the morning which are ideal for instructing begin-
ners, and in the afternoon winds whip down flanking mountains for serious aficionados.
The winding waterfront, with eucalyptus and canopy-covered eateries, is a pleasant place
to relax.
