| Vassiliki on the island of Lefkada |
I just really liked this little Island. We sailed over from Ithaca and anchored in a bay near the village of Vassiliki. Its a windy spot but the holding is good. So windy, in fact, that they have named their wind. Eric, the named wind, shows up every day without fail. Needless, to say they take advantage of this predictable wind and do a lot of windsurfing and sailing in the bay.

We enjoyed the afternoon watching the windsurfers and sailing classes. What really surprised us was that the sailing "students" were not children but older adults. It looked like a play place for retired ex- pat Brits! How nice... a beautiful little island that is so close to the other islands that its an afternoon sailing to the next island and back. And to boot, Lefkada is connected to the mainland via a causeway. Not to mention the great little bay for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking or swimming.

The only downside that I see is the winding mountain roads. But I suppose you get used to driving on them. I actually found a little spot where we could build a small house that was not all the way up the mountain! I suppose the other downside is that Vassiliki is a resort town but when the tourists leave I am sure its heaven💝.
