Windsurfing

Vassiliki is Neilson’s flagship windsurf centre with an impressive array of kit and expert tuition for beginners to experts. You can windsurf all day and if you still have the energy, we offer late safety cover every evening when the wind blows.

Sessions are divided into four groups from complete beginner to advanced sailor in line with the RYA Windsurfing Scheme. Experienced RYA qualified instructors run all sessions and group sizes relate to the RYA recommended teaching radios.

Neilson also run the youth scheme for children in the hotshots club where they can gain stages 1 to 4 in windsurfing and 1 to 3 in dinghy sailing.

The flat picturesque olive groves in the valley are ideal for beginners and the surrounding mountainous terrain offer challenges for more advanced mountain bikers.

There are daily guided bike rides, advanced and intermediate rides usually set off at 8am, before the sun gets too high. The easy rides around the olive groves depart at

5.30pm for about 1 hour. All mountain bike rides are graded 1-5 on fitness (1-5) and a–e for technical difficulty, 5e being the most strenuous and technical.

Neilson have 20 mapped out intermediate and hard rides of anywhere between 1 and 6 hours and all rides head up into the mountains with some fantastic descents.
