¿Sabías que esta arena dorada guarda el secreto de unos refugiados que transformaron ruinas en paraíso? Escucha y siente el sol griego en la piel.
As this is a coastal area with public beaches, access is free 24 hours a day, every day of the week. To get there, the most convenient option is by car or motorbike from the center of Porto Heli, although you can also arrive by water taxi from nearby areas.
Access to the beach itself is completely free, as it is a public space. However, if you want to use the sunbeds and umbrellas at the beach clubs in the area, you will need to pay a rental fee or meet a minimum spending requirement at the venue.
To fully enjoy the sun, the sea, and the relaxed atmosphere of the Greek Riviera, we recommend spending at least half a day here, around 4 to 6 hours. That gives you enough time to swim, relax, and perhaps enjoy a leisurely meal by the sea.
Beyond its current luxury appeal, the area stands on the ruins of the ancient city of Halieis. It is a fascinating place where ancient history lies beneath both water and الأرض, having been a strategic point in the Peloponnese from antiquity to its modern role as a retreat for the elite.
The best season is from May to September if you want to enjoy swimming. As for the best time of day, sunset is spectacular and offers a unique golden light for photographs, along with a more pleasant temperature than midday.
Accessibility varies depending on the exact part of the coast. While there are flat areas and accessible promenades near hotels and clubs, direct access to the sand and the water can be difficult in more natural stretches. It is best to check with specific beach clubs about their access ramps.
You are in a privileged location: you can take a water taxi to visit the cosmopolitan island of Spetses, which is very close, or explore the nearby ancient city of Halieis and the picturesque village of Kranidi.
Bring water shoes, as some areas may have pebbles, and do not forget high-factor sunscreen. If you are looking for a more exclusive experience, I suggest renting a small boat to discover private coves that cannot be reached on foot.
