Vassiliki!

Jo Osmond on 22 May 2022
For Geoff and me, Neilson’s Cosmos Beach Club is perfect - Geoff can’t sit still and to be really honest, I find it hard to get off my sunbed!

If you are a keen windsurfer, Vassiliki, on the beautiful island of Lefkas is one of the best places to stay. With reliable wind and flat water we can be fairly sure that Geoff will get on the water for a few hours or longer every day. And when there is no wind – you can grab a stand-up paddle board or a kayak and if that doesn’t float your boat there are fitness classes, mountain and road bikes for your own use or on guided rides and of course there are some very comfortable sunbeds between the bar and the beach which is usually where you will find me with a good book!

With only 32 rooms it is a small, friendly, family run hotel. The coffee is excellent (and coming from me, that is praise indeed!), and the Greek salads and tzatziki are a daily occurrence! The Cosmos just includes breakfast (different to the other beach clubs) but this means we can choose to eat in the hotel restaurant or walk into the lovely local fishing village (15 mins along the promenade) for lunch and/or dinner where there is a large choice of bars and restaurants. I will tell you where my favourite is once you have booked ??

It is unusual for us to go back to a resort so soon, but we are going back again this year and I can’t wait. I am already loading up my kindle.

PS: I do actually partake in the fitness classes, paddle boarding, kayaking and cycling and there are some lovely walks into the olive groves too….honestly!

PPS: If you fancy trying this sort of holiday yourself then don’t hang around – give me a call! Vass is extremely popular and many people go back year after year – some of them even re-book from their sunbeds :)
