Porto Heli

Summer is finally coming again and with summer also the time of planning the summer vacation starts again. And which place is nicer to visit in summer than a greek island? Well, none it seems. Perfect beaches, sun and water! Except if they are to isolated for you. Then I might have the right place for your summer vacation, a nice small village on the main land with beautiful beaches and in easy reach to an as beautiful island, but also not as isolated as an island would be.


Porto Heli is a village on the eastern side of the Peloponnese with approximately 2000 inhabitants. It is surrounded by a beautiful landscape with a lot of hotels and also the possibility to rent small houses. Porto Heli has a big port, it is basically a big bay surrounded by some houses, so swimming inside the village might be complicated, but a lot of beautiful beaches are in easy reach from there. Hills surround Porto Heli, which makes hiking on a not so hot day or in spring, while enjoying the beautiful view on the village and on the sea, to an option too. And if you want to rent a boat on your own and explore the coast: no problem, even without a license you are allowed to rent small boats for a day.

In the evening, Porto Heli has to offer nice walks at the port with often really beautiful boats to see, as well as taverns with good greek food, but also the ride per ferry to the beautiful island of Spetses is an option. It is what makes Porto Heli so special: the possibility to just take the ferry and be on an island. Spetses is with a distance of only 6 km in easy reach, a ride per ferry takes about 20 to 30 minutes, or even ten, depends on the ferry you take. And then, you will have a great evening there.

So think about it, Porto Heli is really worth a visit! I hope I could help you with planning your vacation!
