Description

Dinghy Sailing Holiday in Lesvos, Greece with Neilson.  Lesvos is in Greece's northern Aegean Sea, overlooking the Turkish coastline.

Situated at one end of a beautiful bay on a long stretch of fine golden sand.

The charming village of Skala Eressos is a ten minute walk along the beach with quaint cafes, restaurants and bars built on bamboo-covered decks extending out over the sand on stilts - the perfect place to enjoy some traditional Greek hospitality.

The wind conditions after breakfast are ideal for beginner dinghy sailors and windsurfers, with winds that build steadily throughout the day. The afternoons provide great sailing conditions for improver windsurfers and those keen to try the two person dinghies and fast, exciting catamarans. Conditions are usually great most of the day, but early morning is the perfect time of day to try your hand at waterskiing and wakeboarding. Turn up at the pontoon floating just offshore and jump aboard one of our ski boats to make the most of the great conditions.

Morning mountain bike rides set a gentle pace, taking in scenic trails to outlying local villages or more challenging routes into the hills of the islands interior. Back on shore there is plenty to keep you occupied with three tennis courts, or if you prefer join us for a relaxing stretch class or gentle morning jog. The long, sandy beach offers plenty of quiet spots to relax and enjoy a good book or you can just soak up the sunshine while watching the activty out on the water. Alternatively, stretch your legs with a leisurely stroll along the beach to the charming village of Skala Eressos.

About Neilson
We've been around for around 25 years. We started as two separate companies, one providing top-end ski holidays and the other taking people sailing in Greece. For around two decades we became better and better at putting together holidays, one company doing fun things in the snow, the other having adventures in the Med. Then, in 1999, Thomas Cook, who owned both companies, decided that it would make sense for us to join together. That was when the famous orange logo appeared, and Neilson as we know it came into existence.
