Porto Heli Holidays, 5 – 8 days

Dedicate your morning to exploring the ancient roots of the area at the site of Halieis. Bring your snorkeling gear to view the remains of the ancient sunken fortifications just beneath the shallow water surface at the edge of the bay. In the afternoon, head to Ververonda beach to relax by the lagoon or try water sports. Conclude your day with a cocktail at a trendy beach bar while watching the sunset.

Begin your day with a short drive to Kilada village to visit the massive Franchthi Cave, which reveals human occupation dating back tens of thousands of years. Afterward, drive up to the nearby administrative town of Kranidi. Walk through its historic streets to admire the traditional stone architecture, neo-classical buildings, and old olive oil presses. Rest your legs in the evening with a hearty meal at a hillside grill house.

Embark on a morning excursion by heading to the nearby Costa port, located just minutes away from Porto Heli. Board a water taxi or a small ferry for a quick crossing to the aristocratic island of Spetses. Spend the day exploring the car-free streets, historic captain mansions, and the Bouboulina Museum. Return to Porto Heli in the evening for a sophisticated dinner at an upscale marina restaurant.

Spend your final morning relaxing on the pristine sands of Hinitsa beach, enjoying its clear turquoise waters and the view of the private island of Spetsopoula. This green cove is incredibly atmospheric and tranquil. Head back into the town to pick up authentic local souvenirs like extra virgin olive oil, regional wine, and thyme honey before your departure, soaking in the Riviera vibes one last time.
