Vasiliki is a well known windsurfing spot during the summer months due to a local thermal wind known amongst windsurfers as 'Eric'^[2] that rises in the afternoon as the land nearby gets warmed up.^[3] There are often over a hundred windsurfers in the bay at any one time. The area is also popular with other sailing craft and mountain bikers. Several holiday companies operate in Vasiliki, providing windsurfing and sailing equipment for their guests to use.
