Porto Heli is often hailed as the Monaco of Greece. Exclusive and high-end, it’s the hideaway of choice for wealthy Athenians and European elites throughout the long, hot Greek summer. It offers visitors vibrant marina walks with chic tavernas and cocktail bars, pristine local coves, and big harbours for docking the 40-footer between visits to stunning nearby islands like Spetses and Hydra.
A rendezvous for luxury yachts and vessels from across the globe, the marina in Porto Heli is the town’s centrepiece. It exudes sophistication. An evening stroll here unveils a vista of gleaming boats set against the star-speckled sky, interspersed with gourmet dining establishments where one can indulge in Mediterranean flavours paired with fine Greek wines.
A yacht charter is a must during your luxury villa holiday in Porto Heli. Sail one way, and you’ll hit Hydra, a craggy rock of an island that’s 100% car-free, famed for its moody harbour town that once inspired Leonard Cohen and other 20th-century poetic greats. Sail another, and you come to Spetses, where pastel-painted sailor mansions fringe the shoreline before pebble coves with some of the region’s clearest waters.
On dry land, the whole of the eastern prong of the Peloponnese is your proverbial oyster. That means trips up to UNESCO-tagged Epidaurus to see one of Greece’s most intact ancient theatres and hospital complexes, jaunts to stylo Nafplio for glimpses of soaring Venetian castles, and days of hiking and local dining on the volcanic peninsula of Methana.
Luxury villas in Porto Heli tap into the exclusive nature of this corner of Greece. Expect all the bells and whistles – private pools, curated designer interiors, and sweeping views of the sparkling Saronic Gulf.
