MOUNTAIN BIKING

Free: Bike Hire  – Kona 2011 Fire Mountains
Free: Bike Guiding - join our superb guided rides

Lefkada is such a beautiful green island, mountainous in the centre and fringed with stunning cliffs, between which nestle small coves and larger beaches. It is a truly rewarding mountain biking destination, in fact one of the best in Europe!

Our bike program is designed to suit all abilities and tastes. The guide combines leisurely exploring with challenging technical trails. There really is something for all levels of biker: a flat meander through the olive groves, discovering ancient trails through desserted villages or racing along goat tracks which criss-cross the whole island.  Getting out on a bike means you can explore hidden secrets inaccessible by car.

With such a long and varied history of wars, numerous governing countries, earthquakes, incredible ancient buildings and stunning beaches Lefkada really does repay the effort of exploring.

With many years mountain biking experience we know the importance of great, well maintained bikes. We have a variety of excellent 2011 Kona mountain bikes, which all feature suspension and disk brakes, and are free to our guests. [More...]

DINGHY SAILING

Free: Use of all Dinghies – Laser Pico, Laser 1, Laser Bahia
Free: Sailing Tuition by our own RYA qualified instructors

The predicatable wind and sea conditions are what makes Vassiliki one of the finest European destinations in which to sail. The consistent wind will rise from an on-shore force 1 or 2 in the morning up to a cross-shore 4 to 7 most afternoons and stay until the evening. This makes it ideal for beginner, intermediate and advanced sailors to all enjoy sailing.  As the wind strength picks up, so the excitement gathers pace, and skills learnt in the morning can be put to the test.

All dinghies are free for our guests to use, subject to availability, however you should have more than enough opportunity to take advantage of the boats of your choice! [More...]

OCEAN KAYAKING

Free: Use of Ocean Kayaks.

All our kit is free for guests to simply pick up and use whenever they wish to. No formal kayak lessons are offered but staff are always on hand to offer tips and advice to first time paddlers.

Even the most inexperienced paddler will find these wide bottomed craft enjoyably stable and confidence building. Kayaks offer a great light wind option and are wonderful for relaxing whilst afloat. During your stay staff will organise a kayak cruise to a beautiful local beach. [More...]

STAND UP PADDLE BOARDS

Free: Use of our range of Paddle Boards

All our kit is free for guests to simply pick up and use whenever they wish to.

Relatively new as a sport but, like surfing, Stand Up Paddle Boards (SUPS) have their origins deep in Hawaiian tradition. There are no formal SUP lessons but staff are always on hand to assist and offer tips to novice paddlers.

Those who try SUP-ing will find the ‘core’ workout it gives you, is a great fitness boost and is hugely rewarding. The best bit is that it is not too difficult either! The flat waters of Vassiliki make it an ideal sport for all abilities, children and adults. During your stay staff will organise a SUP cruise to a beautiful local beach.

It really is a super addictive sport so make sure you give it a go!

A leisurely paddle across the bay is a great way to start your day. Windsurfers will enjoy playing about on the SUPs while waiting for ‘Eric’ (the wind) to start to blow!  [More...]
