Porto Heli Greece (or Porto Cheli) is a small, seaside town on the peninsula of Argolida, Eastern Peloponnese. This town started to develop tourism in the 1980s, when the Athenians were building their summer houses there. Now its residents deal mostly with tourism and fishing. Porto Heli is also connected by hydrofoil to some Saronic islands, such as Spetses and Hydra.

Porto Heli is built around a picturesque natural harbor in the prefecture of Argolida, Peloponnese. This harbor is very safe and usually has enough space, if you have a boat to moor.

The lively waterfront of this city also offers lots of activities, such as book fairs, shadow puppet theatres, fun fairs for the kids and concerts in the summer

People are kind and communication with them is easy, as in all Greece, even if you don’t speak Greek. Hand gestures have always been helpful. Gift shops are found all over the town and the waterfront to buy souvenirs.
