What is there to do in Porto Heli? Predominantly known as an escape for the people of Athens, Porto Heli has also become a haven for families hoping for a relaxing holiday under the sun. Secluded beaches, luxurious hotels and warm, welcoming villages make Porto Heli one of the fastest growing resorts in Greece. There is enough to keep you entertained for the entirety of a family holiday, yet the town is also popular due to its close proximity to neighbouring tourist resorts; many dock their private yachts at the harbour for a couple of days before exploring further into the Argolic Gulf. Much like any port town, the harbour is the main attraction; the surrounding streets are lined with quaint shops, friendly cafes and restaurants serving seafood fresh from the waters. After wandering through the narrow passageways, you’ll step onto the ancient ruins of the city of Alieon, which showcases the architectural history that is synonymous with the region.
The town is very small so it is possible to cover much of it by foot.
Poros’ appeal lies in its location; a short boat ride away from major tourist destinations such as Piraeus and Mykonos, as well as it’s close proximity to Athens, makes it the perfect base for anyone planning a trip around Greece. The island has all the colour and vigour of Athens, except it exudes an aura of tranquillity, emanating from the calm, quiet beaches that decorate the coastline. Most visitors are only there for the day, though labelling Poros as a day-trip island would be doing it a disservice; the charm, food and atmosphere tempt many into staying for an extra day or two. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing holiday on the beach, partaking in some watersports or embarking on a day of sightseeing, Poros adheres to tourists from every walk of life. Walk around the Town Centre’s amphitheatre landscape in the afternoon to bask in the idyllic surroundings and alluring architecture, before stopping to sample some of the delicious local cuisine in the evening. The beaches remain relatively quiet throughout the year, though in summer, Askeli Beach is popular for anyone who fancies their hand on a jet ski. Love Bay beach is perhaps the better option for sunbathing, though its small size can create congestion in prime holiday season.
Cars are generally not advised in Poros, though buses run from the port to popular areas and taxis are readily available throughout the day. Alternatively, it is more than possible to cover most of it by foot.
