Porto Heli (or Porto Cheli)
is located in the Southern part of the Peloponese coast in the Saronic & Argolic sailing area and opposite Spetses island (2NM).
A pine-covered peninsula surrounds the bay and creates a large, natural, safe harbor for many sailing and motor yachts.
Porto Heli is one of the most popular and cosmopolitan tourist resorts in Argolida and lately for many yachtsmen looking for nice coves to swim and safe shelter to moor or anchor.
Porto Heli is a picturesque village which offers sightseeing, beautiful beaches, a variety of shops, waterside tavernas with fresh fish, restaurants, cafes and a couple of nightclubs and late bars.
Numerous attractive coves and beaches for all tastes are definitely another reason why it is worth visiting the area.
Some of the most famous beaches are Hinitsa (full of pines and white sand), Ververonta (mostly for the youngsters, with a very nice beach bar) and Ag. Aimilianos (which consists of many small coves and a fish taverna). Other beaches you can swim in are Limanakia, Kosta and Korakia. Some of the beaches are organised offering various facilities and watersports.
During your stay in Villa GreJo, you may visit the ancient city of Alieon on the South side of the Porto Heli bay. Some of the ruins (both on land and in the sea) are still visible nowadays. Other interesting sites near Porto Heli are the caves at Didyma (twins), Koilada (a nice fishing village) and Kranidi (a village unspoilt by tourism).
For those willing to go a bit further, an hour drive will take them both to Epidaurus, the ancient theatre which is admired for its exceptional acoustics, that permit almost perfect intelligibility of unamplified spoken words from the proscenium or skēnē to all spectators, regardless of their seating, and to Asclepeion, which was the most celebrated healing center of the Classical world.
Porto Heli is 172km drive from Athens and from Patras is 2.30 hours drive. There are daily buses from Athens to Porto Heli as well as a ship from the port of Piraeus. Moreover there are several sea dolphins from Piraeus that reach Porto Heli in 2 hours following the route Piraeus – Hydra – Spetses – Porto Heli.
Agios Aimilianos
is located 7 km east from Porto Heli. It was named after a small picturesque orthodox church that lies on the eastern part of Porto Heli peninsula overlooking Repouli bay. It is a quite, though prestigious, seaside village well known for its sandy beaches with calm water that can be accessed, from the Villa.
