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.
Spetses was almost cursed by its beauty; wonderful aesthetics formed by a myriad of colour from the houses and the striking impression left from the glorious landscape make it just too alluring to remain off the beaten track of tourism. Over the years it has transformed into a mecca of stylish shops and elegant boutiques for day-trippers from Athens, basking in the lavish surroundings and overwhelming the island in a sea of wealth and luxury. However, the swanky and extravagant image shouldn’t put off anyone from visiting; each summer Spetses open its arms, as well as its endless tavernas and bars, to holidaymakers from all across Europe. Ayia Paraskevi Beach is perhaps the highlight of the island, attracting many with the azure blue water next to verdant mountainside. Head a bit further along the shore and discover the Bekiri Cave – one of many that adorn the coast. A day of sightseeing, sunbathing and shopping can prove an exhausting combination, especially considering the plethora of vintage stores and picturesque beaches. To refresh yourself after an action packed day under the Mediterranean Sun, Spetses’ nightlife is the perfect cocktail of energy amid a laid back atmosphere. Cocktail bars offer the most invigorating experience when night falls on the magical island, and for a more tranquil experience, just sit with friends and family in one of the restaurants around the quaint harbourside.
Private cars are banned on the island, so many choose to travel by rental motorcycles. Walking is also another viable option, and public transport is reliable, though can be fairly expensive.
