AREA + CLIMATE
Vasiliki is a traditional fishing village, on the Southernmost Bay of Lefkada. It is known worldwide as one of the best spots for windsurfing and winging due to its consistent and reliable winds.
In May, you are likely to experience dry, sunny weather with temperatures ranging from 15-25°C. The average sea temperature will be around 19°C, meaning that a 3/2mm wetsuit should be sufficient, though you may prefer to bring a thicker wetsuit.
YOUR HOST
Meet Amber, Founder of Water Babes, Surf School instructor and your host for the week.
Back in 2019, Amber spent the summer instructing in Vasiliki and has been dreaming of her return ever since. During her time in the UK, Amber has built a community focused on increasing the number of women in extreme sports and is excited to bring her mission to Greece.
