WildWind

Who has been? Any good?

Went last year only one word.......fantastic ....light winds in the morning to try out new boats and in the afternoon the crossshore wind was F4 minimum every day. If you are learning it could be a bit initmidating but the instructors are first class and will do 'joy' rides for those who want to enjoy but not confident in high winds. The sail here when most would have closed the beach.

Vassiliki the town is really relaxed and about a 10 minute stroll from the base. Lots of cats to make the most of the conditions and for monohulls enough choice to keep you busy (Tried their 5k and enjoyed it so much went and bought one !). Whilst not as much kit as perhaps Minorca it is so much better than the mainstream companies, good value, the atmosphere relaxed and the sailing occasionally epic !

I'm a big fan in general of Vassiliki and have travelled to both Club Vass and Wildwind although not recently. My previous comments are here.

Absolutely top place.

We never go back to the same holiday destination twice and we're going back for our third consecutive year this August.

Top sailing (ideal for beginners in the morning & challenging for all levels in the afternoon), highly skilled staff and Vassiliki town is a nice place to go and eat and safe enough to leave older teenage kids in the Zeus bar, where the staff keep an eye on them.

The ethos of Wildwind is RELAXED.  It's certainly less regimented that Neilson, who we've been with before, and it took us most of our first week there to succumb to the Wildwind spirit.  You do need to be up front with them if you want to get something specific out  of your time there.  However there are some really top sailors there and they will push you way outside your comfort zone if that's what you're up for.

A final thought, much of Wildwind's income comes from repeat business.  You aren't going to regret going there
