Yachts and Yachting visited Wildwind in Greece in 2022 and this is what Mark Jardine had to say:
"Wildwind truly has a bit of everything for water lovers, the adventurers and the party-goers as well as those taking their first steps in a boat, and those just wanting to relax. If you want to turn it up to 11, you can in some of the best dinghies available, or you can just go for a quiet potter on your own. It really is all that you'd expect from a sailing holiday, and so much more."

What makes sailing in Vassiliki so special?
The best sailing conditions
On most mornings, the wind is a gentle breeze onshore, ideal for beginners to get their first taste of the joys of sailing and windsurfing. The more advanced sailors use this time to brush up their techniques on the more demanding boats and to do some windsurfing freestyle. Most afternoons the wind switches cross-shore and builds ready for an exciting afternoon in the safe waters of this expansive bay. The more experienced can do some heavy wind training or just go blasting, while the novices can team up with one of the instructors for the ride of their lives!
The best sailing instructors
Our team of instructors are highly professional, experienced and approachable; many have competed at national and international level. We are an RYA recognised teaching school and are one of the few that offer courses to cover the full range of their syllabus. All courses are on offer at no extra charge, and the RYA qualification means that your safety is never compromised.
