PORTO HELI MARINA > SPETSES (~ 4 NM)
Hop on board after check-in and set sail towards Spetses.
Spetses is a charming island boasting unique architecture, maritime history, and

Anchor at the main harbor of Dapia and enjoy the local taverns and restaurants.
Try one of the delicious taverns in the harbor serving freshly grilled fish among
other appetizing dishes.
If you happen to visit Spetses in September, don't miss the Armata Festival that
celebrates the anniversary of the Naval Battle which took place on September
1822. Note that the festival takes place on Saturday during the second half of
September.
Sports enthusiasts can enjoy the thrilling annual events, the Spetsathlon in April
(Greece's largest triathlon) and the Spetses Mini Marathon in October, where
thousands of participants take part in running and swimming races.
NICE TO KNOW:
Spetses is a car-free island.
Spetses was among the
first islands to draw tourists
worldwide, primarily due
to Poseidonion Hotel, one
of the first fully organized
hotels which opened its
doors in 1914.
Porto Heli, just a couple of hours away from Athens, is a naturally protected bay
that promises a serene and peaceful vacation. Its modern and eco-friendly ma-
rina ensures safe mooring, and the surrounding hills add to the scenic charm. This
makes it an ideal starting point for island-hopping in the Saronic Gulf and the
Peloponnese, or exploring the mainland's stunning bays.

ing from the moment you arrive until the end of your vacation.
