Porto Heli Luxury Vacations

Once a little fishing village with a tiny natural harbor, Porto Heli is a town that’s become famous worldwide. As it sits on the Peloponnese Peninsula, linked to the mainland by a bridge, it can easily be reached by car from the mainland as well as by water taxi or ferry. Set in a nearly enclosed bay it hosts a large marina that’s well-protected from winds, where luxurious yachts, can be seen sailing in and out across the crystal-clear turquoise waters that are also dotted with Riva classics and handcrafted Greek fishing boats. Visitors can enjoy many recreational activities both on and in the water, including diving, with opportunities to view abundant marine life, including large fish and colorful sponges. Swimming is a favorite pastime too along with sunset watching when every evening a dazzling array of colors is splashed across the sea.

As one of the most luxurious destinations in Greece, there is no shortage of upscale shops and top-notch restaurants, in fact, some have referred to Porto Heli as a foodie paradise, a place where it’s virtually impossible to have a bad meal. The olive oil, olives, honey, cheese, fish and wine they serve typically comes from this very region. Visitors can also enjoy exploring archaeological finds from the town and acropolis of ancient Halieis on display in museums nearby.
