Audio Guide of Ververonda Island

The island is open all day, as it is a public natural area. To get there, you need to take a water taxi boat (10 min) or rent a private boat from the port of Porto Heli. More transport information at Porto Heli Water Taxi.

Access is completely free because it is a public natural area. You only need to cover the cost of sea transport (between €20-40 round trip depending on the type of boat).

Ideally, spend between 2 and 4 hours enjoying its unspoiled beaches, walking along the natural trails, and exploring the historic remains. We recommend bringing water and sunscreen.

Ververonda was used as a refuge by pirates in the 17th century and later as a Venetian lookout post. Today, the ruins of a small 16th-century fort and its restored historic lighthouse stand out.

The ideal months are May-June or September-October to avoid crowds and extreme heat. If you travel in summer, arrive before 10:00 am to enjoy it peacefully.

The beaches have natural access without adapted infrastructure, and the trails are uneven dirt paths. We recommend contacting local operators such as Argolis Cruises to evaluate specific options.

Nearby highlights include Porto Heli (1 km away), the ruins of the ancient city of Halieis, and traditional wineries such as Damianakos Winery (15 min by car).
