Skiathos-Vasilias

Edit Spot
About

I think this is one of the best spots to surf on Skiathos island. A fun wave, with a lot of potential.

Atmosphere:
In search of waves, in Greece you come along a lot of negative features such as minimal swell and not many beach, point breaks to be found. However once found, and once placed in the right moment and time, the results of what is capable is stunning. In March 2012 we came across some of the most beautiful waves ever surfed on the island of Skiathos, at this spot.
The place is so easy of access, bus stop is approximately 20m from the spot. You can park your car at 10m from the spot. It is almost unbelievable to have a found a surf spot at such close proximity from almost everything...including the hospital..and where...in Skiathos Island...where three years ago no surf was known at this place.

Additional Info:
You can surf and look at your car. It is that Close
