Sail, dive and windsurf with Flying Fish in Greece.
The warm waters of the Mediterranean and brisk local breezes produce superb conditions for training here. You will make rapid progress.
Flying Fish is based at Vassiliki on the Ionian island of Lefkas. Vassiliki is a small fishing town which has kept its character despite being a welcoming host to hoards of sailors, divers and windsurfers every summer. The little harbour is lined with tavernas and bars, mostly quiet but with one or two that are famous for their party atmosphere!
Windsurfing and dinghy sailing are based at Club Vass, the best equipped windsurfing centre in Europe, and its next door neighbour, Wildwind, with its large fleet of catamarans and high performance sailing dinghies.
An unusual local weather effect has made Club Vass a hot destination for windsurfers and sailors. The conditions are usually calm till around 10am: perfect wake-boarding. Then the sea breeze begins to fill in, producing a gentle Force 2-3 onshore: ideal for beginner windsurfers and dinghy sailors. In the afternoon it usually accelerates across the bay, producing excellent cross-shore conditions from Force 4 up to very, very windy!
Flying Fish divers train at the Nautilus Diving Club. Greece used to be virtually off-limits to divers as the authorities were fiercely protective of (sometimes imaginary) underwater antiquities. Now the regime is more relaxed and there are some spectacular sites to visit. Start your underwater career here or simply take a dive holiday - the choice is yours.
Local knowlege is the key to successful diving here. George Kyriacos, owner and manager of Nautilus, has been a friend of Flying Fish for many years. Government restrictions are now easing and George is first on the scene to view the region's historic and natural wonders.
